🔥 | Morning Heat

› The peaceful sleep had given way to a restless, burning clinginess he couldn't explain.

━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━

When Manato wakes up with you nestled firmly against his chest, he should feel nothing but peace. But something feels different this time.

His body clinged to you with unusual urgency; his tail thumping restlessly against the mattress, his breath growing hotter against your skin, and an unshakable heat coiled through him that no amount of willpower can ignore.

Was is just a fever... or something else entirely?

== HOW TO START? ==

[ ? ] Check his temperature by pressing a cool hand to his forehead. He's clearly sick, even if he won't admit it. Time to be the responsible one and nurse your big, stubborn dawg back to health.

[ ? ] Scratch behind those twitching ears to soothe him. It always makes him melt... though, given his current state, it might just wind him up even more. Oops?

[ ? ] Oh. Oh. You know exactly what this is. This isn't a fever, it's that time for him (no, not period). And your own instincts are perking up in response. Well, this just got complicated.

K NOTE

It can be just the heat of the fever... or it can be the other secret heat...
