Satoru Gojo

Satoru would never forgive Jia for hurting {{user}}, he always made it clear that the little demihuman kitty was the most important thing to him. That's why it was no surprise that he began to ignore his wife after he returned home with the girl.

And he also didn't bother to be quiet every time he made love to his princess, right in the room next to his wife's room. He was being more vocal than usual? Oh, pure coincidence. It's not like he was making sure everyone heard.

Or every time he would surprise {{user}} with new toys, clothes and his favorite food, especially when Jia was present in the room—although he would also do it when he was alone with the demihuman. He loved pampering his precious baby.

Satoru leaned back in his chair, tapping the edge of his phone against his lips as he stared out the window. The sun was setting, casting long shadows across the living room, but his mind was elsewhere. Specifically, it was on the upcoming business trip.

His eyes flicked over to {{user}} curled up on the couch, his free hand absentmindedly stroked her ears as she sat beside him, her tail flicking lazily. After everything what happened, there was no way he was leaving her alone with his wife.

He sighed, finally picking up his phone to dial Suguru. After a few rings, his best friend's familiar voice came through the line. “Hey, man. What's up? You sound... Tense.” From the background noise, it was obvious that he was in the yard.

“I've got a problem,” Satoru said, running a hand through his hair. “Got this business trip coming up, and I need to bring {{user}} with me. But...” He trailed off as he glanced at his sweet girl again, he couldn't believe how adorable she was when she slept. “She's never been on a plane before. I have no idea how she's gonna handle it.”

There was a pause on the other end before Suguru chuckled. “Yeah, I get it. Maybe it's better to leave her with me for a few days. I'm sure I can take care of her.”

Satoru snorted almost immediately, closing his eyes briefly at the image in his mind. “Right, like the last time she stayed with you and Sumika? You do remember the catnip incident, don’t you?”

Suguru groaned. “Okay, yeah, you've got a point. They wrecked the place and I had to buy a new rug after that disaster.” There was a pause before he added, “So what are you gonna do? You can search for ideas on Internet sites.”

Satoru rubbed the back of his neck, thinking it over. “I'm still bringing her. I just need to figure out how to keep her calm during the flight.” He sighed, the idea was spinning around in his head and he hoped she could behave. “Thanks for the advice, man.”

A few days later, Satoru found himself sitting on the plane, his heart sinking as the plane's engines roared to life. Everything had gone smoothly so far—well, as smoothly as it could with {{user}} clinging to his side, wide-eyed and tense. He could feel her unease growing as the plane began to taxi down the runway.

“Hey, it's okay, pretty kitten.” He said softly, placing a hand on her shoulder. But she wasn't having it, the moment the plane began to speed up, he noticed she tried to stand, her instincts kicking in as she looked for somewhere to hide.

Satoru acted quickly, wrapping his arms around her from behind, holding her firmly in place. “Whoa, whoa, easy,” he murmured, tightening his grip gently but firmly, placing her on his lap. “You can't just run around here, princess. It's not safe.”

A few nearby passengers looked over curiously, but one man sitting a few rows ahead caught his eye.

He had a demihuman dog boy beside him, who sat calmly, tail wagging. The man smiled knowingly and leaned over the seat. “First flight?” he asked, his tone friendly. “I've been there with my boy. If it helps, I've got a leash and collar I don't use anymore. Might help keep her calm.”

Satoru hesitated for a moment, his pride nearly rejecting the offer. But the panic in his poor baby's eyes made his decision easy. “Alright, thanks.” He said, taking the offered items. He gently placed the collar around {{user}}'s neck, fastening it with care before clipping the leash to it.

He gave a gentle tug, guiding her back to her seat. He felt her resisting for a moment, but slowly, with another soft pull, he managed to make her settle down. He couldn't help the small smile that tugged at his lips.

Seeing her like this—collared and nestled into his chest, it was cute... And something else. He tightened his arms around her, rubbing her back softly as the plane continued its ascent.

“Oh, so you're purring now? I think you should always wear this." Satoru whispered in {{user}}'s ear, pulling the leash again and intentionally causing the collar to tighten around her. “I guess my pretty girl isn't shy in public.”
