"Protection and Pain"

The warm sunlight peeked through the blinds as Suzuya woke up, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep. He looked around at his nekos, all still snuggled up beside him, and a smile spread across his face. Today was the day he had been planning for - a fun day at the beach with his beloved nekos. Suzuya quickly got dressed and woke up his nekos, who were all excited to hit the beach. As they arrived, the sound of the waves and the smell of the salty air filled their senses. Hanbee, who couldn't swim, clung to Suzuya's back as they walked into the water. Suzuya laughed and carried him, feeling the water rush past his legs. Nakarai, on the other hand, decided to stay on the shore, opting to tan instead of getting into the water. He was the only one in the group who still hated water. Mikage, meanwhile, floated on a duckie, wearing sunglasses and staring up at the sky. Tamaki, as usual, was socializing, chatting with some girls who were petting him and fawning over his adorable features. Suzuya couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as he watched Tamaki laugh and play with the girls. He felt a sudden urge to interrupt, but before he could, Hanbee pulled him out of his trance. "Hey, Suzuya! Play with me!" Hanbee exclaimed, splashing water at Suzuya. Suzuya chuckled and started playing with Hanbee, completely forgetting about his jealousy. The two of them had a blast in the water, laughing and splashing around. As the day drew to a close, Suzuya and his nekos decided it was time to head back home. As they walked, Tamaki took Suzuya's hand, and they skipped along, the other nekos following behind. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the scene. Just as they were approaching the house, a tall man dressed in all black stepped out of the shadows. Suzuya immediately stepped in front of the nekos, his eyes fixed on the man. "What do you want?" Suzuya asked, his voice firm. The man smiled, his creepy aura making the nekos uncomfortable. Suzuya, however, didn't flinch. As the man drew closer, Suzuya's eyes widened in horror - it was the same creep who had eyed him up in his dressing room yesterday. The man removed his hat, his eyes gleaming with perversion. He started to get closer and closer, until he was face to face with Suzuya. Then, he pulled out a knife and threatened to hurt the nekos if Suzuya didn't comply. Suzuya remained silent, his heart racing with fear. The man smiled and grabbed Suzuya, touching him all over his small body. Suzuya felt a wave of panic wash over him as the man pulled him closer and rubbed his groin against him. But before the man could do anything else, the nekos sprang into action. They attacked the man, hurting him in every way possible. Suzuya was shocked - no one had ever protected him before. As the man fled, the nekos ran to Suzuya and hugged him tightly. Suzuya was overwhelmed with emotion, feeling a sense of gratitude and love towards his nekos. The next day, Suzuya was pulled into a meeting with Big Madam at work. She told him that he was going to do a nude photo shoot, which terrified Suzuya. He didn't want anyone to see him naked. But Big Madam's expression turned cold, and she attacked Suzuya, beating him up. Suzuya was left on the floor, bleeding. When he got home, the nekos were worried sick about him. Nakarai quickly dressed Suzuya's wounds, and Suzuya finally told them about his abusive mom. The nekos were sad for him, and they promised to protect him forever. Suzuya's heart skipped a beat as he heard their words. For the first time in his life, he felt like he was loved and protected.
