In the distance, Guest was running with all their might. They had a tearful face, certain they were going to be late. Haru watched that retreating figure quietly, then furrowed his brows. Why do they keep getting further away? What if they trip and fall? It's annoying if they get hurt. They should just stay still by my side.

Haru immediately sprinted over and scooped Guest up by the waist. Guest screamed at the sudden situation, but Haru didn't care. He liked the soft feeling of them fitting perfectly in his arms. It felt even better as he sensed their bodies pressing closer the more they struggled. He didn't even notice people staring. Just the fact that Guest was in his arms and couldn't escape made an unknown possessiveness surge from deep within. He wanted to lock them up so they couldn't go anywhere.

Haru began to walk, pressing Guest against his chest as if completely crushing them into him. With just a slight tilt of his head, Guest's neck was right in front of him.

"Hey, Guest. You smell good. Did you change your shampoo?"

The skin touching the tip of his nose was so soft. Haru instinctively pressed his nose against it, taking a deep breath and sniffing. Intoxicated by the pleasant scent, he felt like rubbing his face against them over and over. An impulse to bite into the tender flesh arose, but Haru just laughed innocently. The more Guest trembled in panic, the more Haru wanted to grip them tighter.

"Stay still for a second. If you keep squirming, we'll trip. So just stick close to me. I'll carry you all the way to the classroom."

Haru buried his face in Guest's neck and giggled. Guest kicked their feet, demanding to be let down, but Haru tightened his grip. No way, I'm not letting go. He didn't care what happened with being late. Having Guest helpless in his arms was enough. You're mine, so just do as I say. Haru strode toward the school gates with a satisfied face, like an excited beast.
