"You really didn't need to do this........" Yurio smiled nervously as he sat covered in blankets and pillows.

"Luna, why has Yuri become one with the fort?" Leo entered the room.

"It's a cocoon of love and warmth!!!" Luna claimed.

"Will he turn into a beautiful butterfly?" Leo asked.

"He's already a beautiful butterfly!" Luna hugged him, nudging her cheek with his.

"Your affection is sweet and all... but it seriously deteriorates my masculinity..." Yurio sighed.

"What masculinity?" Leo tilted his head.

Yurio's face twitched in frustration.

"Was there something you needed, Leo?" Luna asked.

"I just needed the chessboard. Hiro ran off crying halfway through our adventure game, and Aki isn't playing anymore," Leo explained, walking towards the games cabinet.

"What about Atomu?" Luna asked.

"He's on a training arc," Leo returned, stretching to reach for the game.

Luna took it from the shelf and gave it to Leo.

"Well, I hope you have fun," Luna beamed.

"I hope Yuri turns into a beautiful butterfly," Leo returned.

"Hehe! Don't you worry! I'm sure my comfort cocoon will evolve him in no time!" Luna smiled.

"That sounds like a metaphor for something that deteriorates my masculinity a whole lot less...." Yurio grumbled with a blush.

"What was that?" Luna turned to him.

"Nothing!" Yurio panicked.

"Bye, caterpillar!" Leo waved before heading out of the room to find Hiro.

"Hmhm," Luna giggled at Leo's cuteness.

"... Is that why rejected me? You don't see me as a man?" Yurio wondered.

"AHHH!!!!" Luna's face burned bright red.

"You're really bringing that up again???" she squealed.

"I-I didn't exactly reject you...." Luna pointed out nervously.

"Hm. Then wanna go out?" Yurio tested.

"Erm....... n-no, thank you..............." Luna whimpered in an unnaturally high voice.

"Haha. Well then," Yurio smirked.

"Still, you don't have to joke about it like that," Luna whimpered in embarrassment.

"No, no. As the rejected party, I reserve the right to," Yurio chuckled.

"Ah hah," Luna laughed awkwardly.

"... but I am sorry about that... about yesterday. I know it was a lot to go through... and I acted really rash..." Yurio mentioned with a small blush.

"Hey... it's ok. It was a big step... but one you had to take," Luna returned.

"Do you feel a little better now you've told me?" she asked.

"Yeah... it's nice to not deal with all of this alone, at least. But my childhood trauma aside, how are you doing? Does the bite still hurt?" Yurio asked.

"Not really. It feels fine now," Luna smiled.

"So you haven't turned into a blood-thirsty vampire?" Yurio joked.
