Mitsuri glanced back at Obanai, catching his gaze just as he was looking away, a box of cigarettes barely visible in his pocket. Her heart softened, remembering their quiet conversations about his dark habit. Then, a gentle idea formed.

"Obanai," she began, her voice tender, "If I asked you to stop smoking... would you?"

Obanai's eyes widened, then shifted toward their pets lounging by his foot. He hesitated, the request unearthing buried memories. He'd turned to smoking as an escape, a release from the weight of dreams and his family past. Now, with Mitsuri beside him, it was harder to reconcile. "I uh... not sure." he murmured, struggling to find the right words.

Without releasing his hand, Mitsuri squeezed it tighter, drawing him back to her. "Obanai. If i told you to spot smoking, for me would you" This time, her words held an intensity that made his heart stumble..

He looked at her, an inner battle in his eyes. Smoking had always been his anchor, a way to tame his anxieties and suppress deeper, more vulnerable parts of himself—even the parts that ached to be close to her.  "Thats a big request dont you think?"

She squeezed harder as she looked into his eyes. "I don't want you to smoke anymore Obanai. It isn't good for your health. Especially that you're so young" Mitsuri whispered, her thumb tracing gentle circles on his knuckles.

Obanai clenched his jaw as he fought with the idea of stopping. He took a deep exhale than looked back at Mitsuri with a slight annoyance. "I'll be real with you Mitsuri. smoking helps with my anxiety... nightmares I keep having... and—"

""And?" she prompted softly, her expression tender, patient..

Obanai's cheeks flushed, his gaze falling away as he struggled to continue. "It... it also helps with... um," he stumbled, heart pounding at the thought of admitting it.

"Obanai! Just tell me already. I'm trying to understand you" Mitsuri pouted cutely.

His face turning redder at how cute she was. He looked away. "I uh... Listen Mitsuri, you're incredibly hot, okay... and so, it helps to... suppress my sexual needs". He finally admit it.

Mitsuri looked at him as she buffered at first, then after realized what he meant, Mitsuri's face turned red, her eyes widening "IT DOES THAT?! All this time, you've been holding back? You mean you've more..."

Obanai's mouth opened, equally embarrassed, his face burning. "Well, uh... yeah?"

"I never knew that! Also, you mean to tell me you've been surprising it? You mean your more sexually active then what I've seen?!"Mitsuri shouted in embarrassment.
