Warm Shelter in the Storm- Honoka (Dead or Alive 5: The Last Round) Pt.2~ Loved

As requested by paultiteuf360! Male Y/N

The days following Honoka's promise to be Y/N's big sister were filled with warmth and care. She treated him like family, making sure he was fed, rested, and happy. Her bunny outfit remained a playful constant, much to Y/N's delight, and she often made him laugh by hopping around or wiggling her fluffy tail.

One quiet afternoon, Honoka sat on the bed with Y/N nestled on her lap. The boy looked so small in her arms, his head resting comfortably against her shoulder.

"You've got such ticklish spots here, don't you?" Honoka teased gently, her gloved fingers brushing his side.

Y/N squeaked, giggling as he wriggled. "N-No, I'm not ticklish!"

"Oh, really? Let's see about that!" Honoka's gloved hands darted to his armpits, her fingers rubbing in light circles. His laughter filled the room, bright and joyful, as he squirmed in her lap.

"Stop, Honoka-nee!" he begged through his giggles, though he was clearly enjoying the attention.

"All right, all right," Honoka relented with a playful grin. She smoothed his hair, then began rubbing his arms and shoulders with her gloved hands. The smooth leather worked its magic, easing away any lingering tension in his small frame.

"You're so good at this," Y/N murmured, his eyes fluttering shut as he relaxed under her touch.

"Of course," Honoka said proudly. "It's my job as your big sister to take care of you!"

Their peaceful moment was interrupted by a knock on the door. Honoka stood, still carrying Y/N in her arms. His legs instinctively wrapped around her waist as she held him securely with one hand under his bottom and the other supporting his back.

"Who is it?" Honoka called out.

"It's us!" came a cheerful chorus of voices.

Honoka smiled and opened the door to reveal her friends—Kasumi, Marie Rose, and Ayane—all dressed in the same bunny girl outfit as her. Each of them wore a unique variation of the costume, reflecting their personalities. Kasumi's outfit was elegant and soft pink, Marie Rose's was black with a playful frill, and Ayane's was a bold purple. They all carried the same air of charm and warmth.

"Hi, Honoka!" Kasumi greeted, her gentle smile widening when she noticed the boy in her arms. "And who's this?"

"This is Y/N," Honoka said, bouncing him lightly. "He's my new little brother."

Marie Rose gasped, clasping her gloved hands to her cheeks. "Oh my gosh, he's so cute!"

Y/N blushed, hiding his face in Honoka's shoulder. She chuckled, patting his back. "He's a little shy, but don't worry, he's super sweet."

"Well, we have to meet him properly," Ayane said, stepping forward. Her usually serious expression softened as she extended her arms. "Mind if I hold him?"

Y/N peeked out, his eyes wide. He hesitated, but Honoka nodded reassuringly. "It's okay, Y/N. Ayane-nee is really nice."

With that, Ayane took him into her arms, holding him securely against her chest. "See? You're safe with me," she said softly, running a gloved hand down his back. "You're such a little gentleman."

The women quickly became smitten with Y/N, taking turns holding and cuddling him. Marie Rose was the most playful, spinning him around in her arms and peppering his cheeks with kisses, her gloved fingers tickling his sides.

"You're so light!" she teased. "Are you sure you're not a bunny, too?"

Kasumi was gentle and nurturing, sitting him on her lap and stroking his hair. She offered him sweet snacks and giggled softly when he tried to share with her.

"You're very thoughtful, Y/N," she said, leaning down to kiss his forehead. "I think you're the sweetest little brother ever."

Ayane, though usually reserved, grew fond of him quickly. She gave him soothing massages with her gloved hands, kneading his tiny shoulders with care. Y/N leaned into her touch, his small frame relaxing under her skilful fingers.

"You've been through a lot, haven't you?" Ayane murmured, her tone soft and understanding. "Don't worry. We'll take care of you."

Honoka beamed as she watched her friends bond with Y/N. Her heart swelled with joy knowing that he was surrounded by so much love and care.

As the afternoon wore on, the women gathered on the couch, with Y/N nestled comfortably among them. Honoka sat him on her lap again, her arms wrapped protectively around him.

"Ready for more tickles?" Marie Rose teased, wiggling her gloved fingers.

"No!" Y/N cried, laughing despite himself as her fingers danced along his sides.

Kasumi joined in, gently tickling his feet, while Ayane poked his tummy with a rare smile. Y/N's laughter was infectious, filling the room with warmth and happiness.

"Okay, okay, let's give him a break," Honoka said, though she was laughing too. She pulled Y/N close, kissing his cheek. "You're the cutest little brother ever."

Y/N, still giggling, wrapped his arms around her neck. "You're the best, Honoka-nee. And you're all the best!" he added, looking at the other women.

The bunny girls exchanged smiles, their hearts melting at his words. Kasumi leaned in to hug him from the side, while Ayane and Marie Rose gently squeezed his hands.

That evening, as the sun set and the world outside grew quiet, Y/N sat between Honoka and Kasumi, his head resting on Honoka's shoulder. He felt safe, loved, and, for the first time in a long time, truly happy.

"Y/N," Honoka said softly, brushing his hair back. "You know we're all here for you, right?"

He nodded, looking up at her with wide, trusting eyes. "Yeah. Thank you, Honoka-nee. Thank you, everyone."

The women all gathered around him, wrapping him in a big group hug. Honoka kissed his forehead, her gloved hand resting gently on his cheek.

"You're part of our family now," she said warmly. "We'll always take care of you."

Y/N smiled, tears of happiness welling up in his eyes. "I love you, Honoka-nee. And I love all of you, too."

"We love you, too, Y/N," Kasumi said, her voice filled with sincerity. The others echoed her words, each pressing a kiss to his cheeks or forehead.

As Y/N drifted off to sleep in Honoka's arms that night, surrounded by his newfound family, he knew he had found a place where he truly belonged.
