Izuru walks back to Mister 'Maeda's room. Izuru hid it somewhere here. Hmmm... ah! Under the mattress!

Izuru climbs on the bed and lift the mattress. It's heavy. But It was where it was the safest.

Here it is! Izuru needs it now! Izuru grabs it and jumps off the bed.

...

Izuru likes his tablet... Izuru made it with all his heart but... Izuru never got to show it to anyone. Madame and Mister owners never even bother to look at it.

Maybe Miss pink gummy hair was really really right... Maybe they were liars. Maybe they didn't care about Izuru.

At least Mister 'Maeda seems nice. He smells like pills and clean and creamy pastries.

Izuru prefers that smell to the dirty and bland one of where he had to sleep before. Everything was so so boring, smelled boring, tasted boring, felt boring.

Here, there is way more new stuff to try.

Izuru should show his tablet to Mister 'Maeda! Mister 'Maeda always says nice things to him.

Izuru lays down on the floor. The tablet starts playing music. Izuru doesn't always like what it's playing but right now it's well.

Good song, all calm like a lullaby.

...

Izuru never heard a lullaby.

...

Izuru wonders what it sounds like...

....

Izuru should ask Mister 'Maeda. But Mister 'Maeda is already kind enough to not throw Izuru out so... Izuru doesn't want to be a burden. Even if Izuru is probably too clingy towards him...

Mister 'Maeda probably doesn't like that. Well Mister owner didn't like that.

Izuru should stop for a bit.

Izuru will make dinner to make up for it!

Knock knock

Mister 'Maeda is here! He opened the door.

"There you are! What are you playing with?"

Mister 'Maeda has sparkles in his eyes... it's pretty... Izuru had never seen anything like it before. Izuru wants a hug now.

"... It's Izuru's tablet..."

He looks at it with a big bright real real smile on his face.

"Did you make it?"

Izuru nods. Izuru knew that Mister 'Maeda would be

interested by it!

"Yes! Izuru made it 2 weeks ago!"

Mister 'Maeda pets Izuru's hair, saying things like: "You're so talented, I'm lucky to have found someone as amazing as you, you're so adorable".

Izuru then proceeds to cling to Mister 'Maeda's shirt, and Mister 'Maeda hugs him, and it's warm and happy and comfortable. Izuru wants to stay here... Izuru wants to stay with Mister 'Maeda... Izuru doesn't want to be alone anymore. Because... There is someone Nice to Izuru... and...

Izuru likes it a lot.
