Hurt and Comfort
Its already been a month after his family moved in Japan and surprisingly he adjusted quite well and lived never better, especially with his new best friend and potential girlfriend in it.
Kuu spotted Kuon munching on a plain bread while smiling at Kyoko's adorable picture, "Its Saturday kid. You got any plans?" Kuon's dad asked him teasingly.
Kuon quickly hid his phone and turned to Kuu, "Not much, just going to hop at Kyoko-chan's place and hangout, why?" Of course Kuu expected it since his son had been doing it daily, "And she's not really feeling well." Kuon sighed, "So I'll be around to comfort amd pamper her."
Kuu whistled, "Here, take some snacks to share with her." handing his son few bags of chips and chocolates from his pantry stash.
Julie then came down to eat breakfast and also asked Kuon why he's alreadt dressed to leave with a plastic bag full of snacks, Kuon explained Kyoko's situation, "And she's having a rough week with it. Her navel had a bad ache and she can leave the bed." Kuon sighed.
"Oh no! Here honey, take this with you and fill it with hot water." handing him an adorable hot compress with cartoonish prints.
Kuon appreciated his parent's help, "And make sure to be patient with her, having a period is tough." Julie added as she knows how it feels.
Before Kuon left his brother skipped breakfast and already in his hoody and cargo pants, holding his helmet, "Leaving already, son?" Kuu asked.
Julianme only nodded upwards and puts on his helmet and bee-lined his way to the garage where his scrambler motorbike was.
Rick and Tina also came down after they just woke up and greeted Kuon who's also about to leave.
The Hizuri couple only sighed after their sons left the nest early in the morning. Julie on the other hand took a quick picture of her sons earlier by the door with Julianne all covered with his riding outfit and Kuon in his homey clothes all stacked with his 'comfort my girl essentials' This quickly blew up her official and personal social media account after sharing her sadneas that her boys are growing up real quick.
Kuon made a quick knock and as usual it was Kyoko's father who opened the door, he wasn't amused knowing the teen was there to steal his daughter but allowed since Kuon seems to be a good kid and treats his princess like a real on with respect and affection.
Seeing the young man with all his carrying, "She's upstairs." And Kuon just thanked him and sprinted to Kyoko's room.
It wasn'this first time coming in her room, rather they either spend their time studying or lounging in her room or his and sometimes in his shared lounge with his brother playing some games and making use of the console he bought for his brother and him to play with.
Kyoko made a slow turn and weak greetings, "Hi..." groaning from the stinging pain.
"Hello, don't move too much." Kuon quickly kneeled beside her bed and petted her head full of cold sweat.
She weakly smile, "Thank you." she sighed again.
Kuon gently sushed her and went down to ask for Kyoko's dad for a piping hot water, the older man happily obliged to assist and handed him the hot compress now filled with scorching water.
Kuon then changed her now warm pack to a new one and joined her to bed letting her lean to him. Kuon then kept her all cuddled which she loved.
Kuon massaged her free hand while she tried to take a nap. "I feel bad we cant do our plans today." she pouted.
"Its okay-" Kuon casually droppes a kiss on her temple, "Once you feel a little better and can stand, we can always go to my house and play there instead." He suggested.
Kyoko hummed, "I'd love that." she yawned, "Can we play that cute dragon later?" she asked.
"Spyro? Sure! Julianne even set it up for you to be easy." he said making Kyoko pleased, "Just take a nap and Ill be here."
Kuon indeed remained beside her and enjoyed massaging her hand and playing with her fingers, Kyoko on the other hand fell asleep.
Kuon could not help but take pictures of her adorable sleeping face.
It didn't take long for Kyoko to wake up and feel a little better and they indeed as promised headed to Kuon's house and snuggled by the gaming lounge playing video games, "By the way, did you accept the role?" Kuon asked.
She hummed affirmatively, "I did!" she said in delight, "I can't believe we'll be in one project!" she giggled.
Kuon smiled, "Yup! Im glad I accepted it when Boss offered it."
Kyoko had starry eyes, "Its based on a real story! A real life modern day fairytale!" Kuon then pulled out his phone to search the couple.
When the image loaded with the article, Kyoko agaim squealed seeing a teenaged couple in fancy casual dress and suit walking around an English castle, "That's Ayuzawa Misaki-san, she's quite a popular student council president from the federation, and with her is Usui Takumi-san, I met them personally during a coucil summit last month, Im so shocked I'll be playing as her in the series!"
Kuon smirked, "I can't wait to see you in a maid outfit." Kyoko pinched his nose.
He pouted at the aggressive gesture and Kyoko rolles her eyes, "You do realize you suck at cooking and your character requires you to be a good cook, right?" She challenged.
Kuon sighed, "I'll try, oh look... Its Brian." The rooster started to peck at their feet asking for treats.
During lunch, Rick shared plenty of embarrassing stories about Kuon that entertained Kyoko, "Sup, buddy?" Rick greeted Jullianne who just arrived. Kyoko gasped seeing the iconic and internet famous helmet Onigiri wears.
Julianne expected Kyoko's reaction upon seeing his familiar getup. "By the way, thank you for the merch, my friends loved them!" Julianne never revealed himself, it was just Kyoko's skill that managed to recognize his voice and familiarize.
"I'll hand you some few more once the new batch and limited edition comes in." Kuon is a little jealous that Kyoko is mpre close than he is to his brother and that Julianne gives presents to Kyoko often.
Kyoko squealed and then winced at the pain on her navel. She sighed and thanked him, Kuon was fast to comfort and massage her lower abdomen, while she gave a contented sigh in response.
Tina who came to get her husband, "Imagine Kuon being married and both of you are expecting, he might be worse than that." Kuon's mind flew off thinking of the future wearing a silly smile, Kyoko on the other hand blushed.
Kuon fussed over her in every little thing which made him a good husband material.
As the sun sets, Kuon took her home and stayed a little making sure she's comfortable and with a new compress, while spending a little more time with each other before Kuon heads home, Kyoko requested if they can take a selfie, and he obliged requesting if they can also take one on his phone.
Before Kuon went home, he made their new selfie his home screen while Kyoko's sleeping face his lock screen, Kuu laughed as he noticed his son was still wearing those silly smile as he stares at his phone.
"Good night." He sent.
It did not take long to receive a response, "Good night to you too, please eat some dinner." knowing his poor eating habits.
Kuon joined his family in the dinner table and took a picture of his decently filled plate consisting of healthy meal made by his father and Rick, "Good boy." with a smiley face as Kyoko replied.
It was adorable how they also video called after dinner, Kuon is just lounging in his shared gaming livingroom upstairs, "Still can't get enough of each other?" Julianne being weirded out with his brother's relationship, "And shouldn't both of you be already dating?" he pointed out, "With all your intimacy you might as well be dating." he cringed.
Kuon laughed, "We're in mutual understanding stage, besides I'm just following her pace." Kuon clarified.
Julianne shrugged, "Whatever floats your boat, dude." and continued editing his current recording and doing a bit of voice over on the side.
Kuon loved listening to his brother's smooth yet baritone voice, no wonder the girls on his class were all going feral when 'Onigiri' decided to upload his own videos online.
"Well, good night again and sleep tight. I love you." Kuon casually says making Kyoko blush.
On the other line, the girl giggledand sheepishly gaving him virtual kisses, "Love you too, see you tomorrow, and go to sleep!" she added, despite saying their goodbyes their phones are still connected through the video call.
And indeed, Kuon a good night sleep with Kyoko's sleeping figure beside him.

Extra: Chaos
It did not take at least fifteen minutes for Julie's post to blow up the whole social media sites where her official accounts are registered. The developers were not pleased with all the maintenance they have to do after an hour down time.
Apparently, her son Julianne also had a huge following with her fans and she realized that he was quite famous in his own right even without revealing his face to the public, only his iconic helmet and trademark hoodies and cargo pants.
One of her fans even said, "How lucky of Julienna-sama to have both charming sons!"
Another even commented, "Wait! Onigiri is a Hizuri!"
One even wrote, "I need a face reveal fast!" complete with thirst emoji and three drops of water.
Julie only peovided one comment to supply fuel to the already raging thirst of her fans, "It was an edited picture by Tina of the Hizuri family picture where Julianne is wearing a helmet hiding his identity with a reminder, "Ladies, he's only fourteen, chill." attached is a gif of FBI breaching a door.
But most of the comments were about how shocked they are to learn Kuu and Julie had a second son.
