nene wakes up fuzzy, but it's a school day !! aghh !! she decides to power through. although the already loud homeroom is a lot more bothersome today..

akito notices she's a little more reserved than usual.. its not out of the ordinary for nene to be tired from staying up playing games, but he keeps an eye out.

he's able to eventually walk over and ask if she's alright. nene, at the notion of her cg noticing and worrying at her behavior, freezes up and flusters- k.o.! she puts her head down as akito crouches by her desk, assuring her it'll be ok and they can head straight for his house once schools over.

"can you stay strong for a little more? for me?"

"..mhm,"

akito gives her a comforting smile before they have to get back to work. once the final bell rings they walk out together- neither acknowledge that fact until they get home. nene hugs him once the door shuts, akito pets her head soothingly

hcs time! :3

• nene typically slips between 2-4.. tiny..

• akito started caring for her after she slipped at the arcade that one time after both toya and emu had left

• nene's generally low needs, she just likes the support of knowing someone is looking after her

• akito has gotten really good with reading her facial expression and body language since baby nene is a mumbler- sometimes nonverbal

• nene gets sleepy a lot faster when small, but that doesn't stop her from trying to stay up like usual

• akito carries nene around when she's extra small, it can usually put her to sleep

• nene is a hider.. she cozies up in any corner she can find

• akito finds fruits -mostly cirtrus- are generally a safe food for nene, so he's usually able to dice those for her when its snack time

• after getting comfier with each other, nene no longer shies away from bapping akito whenever he tries to change her menu

• akito has certain plushies that are technically nene's, but they stay at his house so she can have something familiar to play or snuggle with when she's over

• sometimes nene will feel brave enough to cuddle- which usually ends in a sleeping nene and trapped akito
