"Good morning, Kacchan!"

Kacchan groaned as he awakened, seeing a bright blur of colors.

"Ashido, I don't have to work today. Lemme sleep."

Kacchan turned away from the edge of the bed and pulled his blanket over his head, only for Ashido to shake him:

"Why so sleepy, sleepyhead? Don't you wanna go for a morning run?"

"No. Lemme sleep."

Ashido smiled. "I'll spend the day with you and do whatever you want if you get up and go for a run with me!"

Kacchan groaned. "Fine…"

Kacchan exerted himself to get himself sitting up. In doing so, he saw that Ashido was already dressed for the occasion, wearing a black sports bra and matching black spandex shorts along with her usual sneakers. He smiled.

"What the heck! If you're dressed like that, I'll go with ya!"

Ashido giggled. "Oh, you're so silly!"

Kacchan dressed for the run by putting on a pair of gray gym shorts with red stripes, and they headed to the dining room.

"What's for breakfast?" asked Ashido.

Kacchan shrugged. "Sorry, I really don't have much except for protein bars and Monster.

Ashido frowned. "That's all you eat? But this is the most important meal of the day!"

Kacchan grumbled. "If it's that important to ya, I'll go out to McDonald's or somethin', but only because I think you have a really hot body."

Ashido giggled and ruffled Kacchan's hair. "OK, enough with the compliments, silly! Just get us something to eat!"

Kacchan headed to a McDonald's at Union Station to get breakfast for him and Ashido, and after they chowed down, they headed out onto S Halsted Street for their run.

"Ah, the wind feels so good against my skin!" said Ashido. "Nothing like an early morning summer run…and with a cute, handsome boyfriend, no less!"

Kacchan smiled. "I don't usually like runnin' for exercise, but lately, because of you, I'm willin' to try anything once."

"That's great! Everyone should be willing to try new things!"

"Honestly, you're not a bad person. Sure, getting' used to your cheery attitude was hard at first, but once ya sank in, everything became that much better! You're very easy on the eyes, too!"

Ashido giggled. "Speak for yourself, honey! I had a hard time trying to cope with you being angry and yelling, but I knew you were a good person!"

Kacchan's look turned serious. "How?"

"I just have a really good sense for people who are secretly crying out for someone to love and care for them!"

"Fair enough."

When Kacchan and Ashido got back to the former's place, Kacchan headed for his bedroom and did his usual strength training exercises. Ashido even took notice of this:

"Mind if I feel those muscles, handsome?"

Kacchan smiled. "Go ahead!"

Kacchan flexed his bicep, and Ashido cozied up to him.

"Wow, you're so strong and manly! I love strong men!"

"And I love cute, sexy pink women!"

Ashido giggled. "Awww, what a sweetie! Speaking of sweet, mind if I ask you something?"

"Go ahead, Ashido."

"Can we please go to the grocery store, honey? You really should eat more for breakfast than just a protein bar."

"But I got plenty of other food!"

Ashido smiled. "I'll do something really nice for you if you go with me!"

Kacchan smiled. "Ah, what the heck!"

After getting dressed in their usual civilian clothes, Kacchan and Ashido headed to Jewel-Osco…coincidentally, the same one where they'd first met. This time, though, the rapport between them was far better than that first day. Nevertheless, they did have a little disagreement…

"Where are ya goin', Ashido?"

"To the produce aisle! Don't you wanna get some healthy food such as fruits and veggies?"

Kacchan grumbled. "If I don't go to that aisle, are ya gonna not do that nice thing for me?"

Ashido smiled. "I'll still do the nice thing for you, but I'd feel better about you if you got some with me!"

"Fine…" Kacchan followed Ashido over.

"Oh, don't be so pouty! There are plenty of delicious options!"

"Such as…?"

"Try okra! It's really delicious! I also love cantaloupe!"

Kacchan smiled. "Yeah, you should know 'cause you got two stuck to your chest."

Ashido dropped her jaw and gasped when she heard that.

"What?" said Kacchan.

"How dare you joke about my boobs!?"

"What? A guy's not allowed to tell his woman that she's got nice boobs?"

Ashido glared at Kacchan briefly. Then, she broke out laughing.

"What?" said Kacchan.

"I'm sorry; I just can't with you right now!"

Even Kacchan couldn't help but have a good chuckle at the whole thing.

"Kacchan, for a guy with a really foul attitude, you sure know how to make a woman laugh, and that's hot!" said Ashido.

"Glad I can make ya laugh!"

After buying some groceries, Kacchan and Ashido headed back to the former's house and put the groceries away.

"So, what's this nice thing ya wanted to do for me?" asked Kacchan.

Ashido wrapped her arms around Kacchan's neck. "You're gonna love it!"

Ashido pulled Kacchan in and kissed him, and he wrapped his arms around her as well. She went into him so much that she pushed him backwards into the fridge. He didn't care, though, for he enjoyed being kissed by his sexy pink woman regardless. One thing he didn't expect, though, was when she kissed his chin and down his chest before getting down on her knees and undoing his pants. It was in this moment that Kacchan figured out exactly what Ashido wanted to do to him, and he blushed.

Sure enough, Ashido grabbed Kacchan's cock and licked it as if it were an ice cream cone. Within seconds, he got hard, dropping his jaw in the process. Even so, she chose to tease him for a bit, to allow him to get hotter and hotter, to make him desire nothing else but this. Finally, when she was sure he'd had enough, she let out a little giggle before sucking him off. As soon as he felt Ashido's mouth envelop him, Kacchan gasped and felt hotter than Krakatoa. Regular vaginal intercourse was one thing, but this…this was on another level. It just felt so warm, wet and heavenly like nothing else, and all he could think about was how skilled she was with her mouth. Soon, his own twisted into a sadistic smile.

"Yes…YES! Suck my fuckin' cock!"

Kacchan put his hands on Ashido's head and forced her to deepthroat him. She let out a muffled scream as this caught her off guard, and she flailed around a bit before pushing him away, frowning.

"Kacchan, what the fuck are you doing!? You're not supposed to do that!"

Kacchan frowned. "Whoa, I'm sorry! I…I just…I really liked having you suck my cock!"

"Well, could you please not do that to me? I nearly choked!"

Kacchan nodded. "All right, I'll be more careful."

Ashido's smile returned, and she continued giving Kacchan head, much to his delight. While he wasn't the first guy she'd given head to, he was probably his favorite thus far in spite of the fact that he'd forced her to deepthroat him. Maybe it was his rugged good looks, or maybe it was his bad boy attitude, but whatever the case, she really enjoyed dominating him with her mouth, letting him know that pink was power. All she wanted to do was tease him, to make him beg for release until he exploded, and she gently moaned not only at the thought of him cumming in her mouth, but also how he'd react once he finally got to the point of no return. Encouraged, she gave it everything she had, using her best techniques, until finally…

"ASHIDO, I'M GONNA CUM!"

While Kacchan didn't have the biggest release of his life, he nevertheless had a hell of an orgasm thanks to Ashido, who didn't even stop sucking as he continued to cum in her mouth, and she moaned as he did so. Even after he stopped climaxing, she kept his cock in her mouth for a bit more before slowly pulling back, all the while with a smile on her face.

"Well?" said Ashido.

"Ashido, that…that was FUCKIN' AWESOME!" Kacchan smiled. "Thanks a million!"

Ashido got back to her feet. "You're welcome, honey!"

Ashido gave Kacchan a hug, which he gladly returned as he'd done before. Having gotten this far with her, he felt a huge weight being lifted from his shoulders. Eventually, she let go, and he put his pants back on.

"Ya know, because of you, I can look to the future without a single fear!" said Kacchan.

"Oh Kacchan, never look to the next day as a fear nor problem! You'll drive yourself crazy doing that! Best to try to find the one great thing that will make you smile, and when you're down, use that to pick yourself up again!" Ashido giggled.

Kacchan nodded. "Good idea. So anyways, now that ya gave me the best blowjob in the world, what else do ya wanna do?"

"Well, why don't we watch some TV?"

Kacchan gave a thumbs up. "Great idea! Hell, I'll even let ya pick the show since you're the kindest, sexiest woman ever!"

Ashido laughed. "Of course, silly! Just let me get some mouthwash. As tasty as your cum is, I don't wanna have the taste lingering."

Kacchan's look turned serious. "I don't think I got any mouthwash, but I'll let ya use some beer to wash out the taste. You're drinkin' the whole thing if ya do, though."

Ashido shrugged. "Ah, what the heck! It's better than nothing."

Ashido grabbed a Miller Lite from Kacchan's fridge and slugged the whole thing. Then, she joined him on the couch for some Netflix.

"Go crazy, babe!"

Kacchan handed Ashido the controller for his PS5, and she put on Pink Princess Pony Time before curling up on the couch and snuggling with him. He didn't even care that it was the girliest show ever. Knowing that somebody in this world cared enough about him to brave his foul attitude and give him her love was the most meaningful thing that had ever happened to him in his life. Granted, he worried about how he could possibly pay her back, but then he decided that being good to her was probably payment enough. After a couple of episodes, Ashido paused Netflix.

"What's up?" asked Kacchan.

"I'm hungry! Why don't we get lunch?"

"OK."

For lunch, Ashido had encouraged Kacchan to get some deli meats, so he had a roast beef sandwich with mustard, pickles and tomatoes on white bread, while Ashido had a turkey sandwich with Miracle whip, spinach and tomatoes on multigrain bread.

"I usually don't buy a lotta lunch meat, but this stuff ya got is really good." Kacchan took another bite of his sandwich.

"That's because Boar's Head makes the absolute best deli meats! Really, you should consider packing your own lunch more often!" Ashido took another bite of her sandwich.

"If I weren't so worried about it goin' bad, I would."

Ashido swallowed. "Well, your place has a fridge for the break room, right?"

Kacchan nodded. "Good point."

Ashido giggled. "Of course it is, silly!"

Kacchan smiled before taking another bite of his sandwich.

After lunch, Kacchan and Ashido watched some more TV. After a few more episodes of Pink Princess Pony Time, they took a break.

"Hey, Ashido…"

"Yes?"

"I…I don't wanna get married or any of that shit, but I…I don't ever wanna leave ya, either. You mean a lot to me."

Ashido giggled. "Kacchan, we don't have to get married to be in love! I mean, I don't wanna get married either!"

"So…I guess we just love each other forever and that's it?" Kacchan smiled. "OK!"

Ashido kissed Kacchan again before laying his head on his shoulder.

"Kacchan, can I be honest with you about something?"

"Go ahead."

"The day we met each other, after I got home, I…I fingered myself while thinking about you."

Kacchan gasped and blushed. "R-really? 'Cause I jacked off while thinkin' about ya."

Ashido gasped. "OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS*, THAT IS TOO FUNNY! I guess we really were made for each other!"

"Ya think so?"

Ashido ruffled Kacchan's hair. "I know so!"

Ashido continued to lay down on Kacchan, who couldn't help but think about how this woman had single-handedly changed his life. At one point during their relationship, it had occurred to him that it wasn't that he didn't want to be in a relationship. Rather, his own personal insecurities had been eating away at him for so long that he was afraid of being in a relationship with the wrong woman. Fortunately for him, this pink fireball had not only been strong-willed enough to see through his bad boy exterior, but also kind enough to listen to him and offer him comfort when he really needed it. Truly, she was the woman for him.

"Hey Kacchan…"

"Yeah?"

"I love hanging out with you, but I gotta get going. Peachy gets lonely if I'm away from her for too long."

"I understand. Thanks for hangin' out with me and doin' it with me, at least!"

"You're always welcome!"

Kacchan drove Ashido back to her place.

"Thanks again for the drive, honey! TTYL!"

"You're welcome!"

Ashido gave Kacchan another kiss before getting out of his Trans Am and heading into her place. As far as Kacchan was concerned, the future could only go up from here.
