Aiden's friendly smile began to slowly fade away as she simply looked at him. He didn't feel right under this gaze of hers. If anything it felt like he was some sort of creature being observed and judged to see if he was worthy of her attention or not, and it was nerve-wracking. She went on to let out a "hmmmm" before turning towards Zaiaku, simply stating that this is "him", a reference to the person she was just examining. The air was tense at this moment, and Aiden was rubbing the back of his neck out of nervousness. He wondered if he did something wrong or if she was just judgmental of outsiders, as it seemed as though she wasn't exactly liking what she saw, though before he could even react, she had her arms reached out, dragging both Aiden and Zaiaku into a large and breathtaking bear hug.

'I think my spine just cracked...' Aiden thought to himself as she went on to exclaim about how he's "SOOO" cute and small and sweet, going on to even call Zaiaku "Zaia-Kun". She was speaking nearly as gleefully as what Aiden would suspect an easily excitable schoolgirl would, and if he wasn't being nearly crushed at the moment, he'd be flattered at what she is saying, which shows obvious signs of approval, but all he can do at the moment instead is focus on trying to breathe. The hug soon ended as she set both Zaiaku and Aiden down once again, patting and rubbing there heads instead. He was embarrassed to admit it outright but Aiden liked it when his his head, specifically his hair, was patted and rubbed, enough so that his friendly smile from before grew back, this time turning into a slight grin as he had his eyes closed for a few seconds, holding back a small chuckle when she talked about how Zaiaku thought he would be single forever in a triumphant tone of voice before then talking about how she'll make something for the two "love birds".

Leaving the two alone once more, Aiden did have a few questions that he wished to ask while he was still humored by what just happened.

"She seems nice and accepting. Are you surprised, "Zaia-Kun"?"

He replied teasingly and waited for a response before continuing on.

"What's a "kun" anyways? Is it just some kind of pet name she has for you?"

"SHUT UP!!" Zaiaku practically ordered as he glared at Aiden, his cheeks becoming a very bright red in utter embarrassment. Looking away in supposed agitation, he began speaking. "Atleast she seems to be accept you.....as expected."He said as he sat on the couch, pulling the smaller boy onto his lap nonchalantly. Though he was still frowning, it softened slightly as he held Aiden close, gently stroking his tail. ".....I'm glad she did..." He quietly admitted, pulling him closer, his tone much more innocent now. "She may have, but I haven't yet." Said a old, archaic yet, gruff voice. A even taller male came into the room, judging by his appearance, he was bloodrelated to Zaiaku. He wore a dull, normal kimono, and his long, rather, curly hair went down to his back, though it did not make him seem less fierce. "Uncle!" Zaiaku said in mild surprise. 'Uncle' approached the duo, his very prescence showing that he is not as accepting as Yorokubi. "Another weakling, why can't you go with someone of greater strength?" He said, making it very apparent that he was cranky, not really meaning it. Zaiaku merely gave him a dull look before Yorokubi chimmed in from the kitchen. "He will date who he wants and you can't control him. Afterall, this is MY house and he is MY son." She said, her cheerful voice holding some slightly threat to it. 'Uncle' simply hmphed before heading to the kitchen aswell.

Aiden heard Zaiaku practically order him to shut up while glaring at him, but all it did was make Aiden laugh. He didn't mean a single thing from the harmless tease he did. If anything it was done mostly due to the playful nature he had and nothing more. After looking away with his cheeks Still bright red from what Aiden guess was embarrassment, Zaiaku would speak about how she seems to be accepting him as expected. After speaking he sat back on the couch, pulling him onto his lap where he would gently stroke his tail. All Aoden did in response was just let it happen while he rested his head on Zaiaku's chest, listening to Zaiaku speak about how he's glad she did. It was a nice moment of where they were both alone together, though it wouldn't last long.

An archaic yet gruff voice rang out, stating that she may have, but he hasn't yet. This voice came from a male that looked rather similar to Zaiaku, though he was taller and looked older as well. He donned a normal kimono and he had long and curly hair going down his back. Zaiaku would call this person "uncle" in a tone of surprise, which immediately was a signal to Aiden that this man was the grumpy one Zaiaku spoke of back at the hotsprings. The older giant would approach the duo, asking Zaiaku why he couldn't go with someone of greater strength and even labeled Aiden as "another weakling". The way he said it though gave off the impression that he didn't really mean what he said, though even if he did Aiden wouldn't care much regarding it. Strength isn't the most important factor to have, especially for someone like him whom of which wasn't even a Genin yet.

Zaiaku's mother would suddenly respond from the kitchen, stating that Zaiaku will date whoever he wants and he can't control him. After all, this is her house and he is her son, causing the uncle to Hmph in response before leaving the room. Aiden knew he was weak. Not completely weak, as he did help prevent a rape via tearing out a man's neck, though still, his succeeding in such was probably more due to the element of surprise than anything else. He was planning to become stronger though now that he was free, especially since he has someone willing to teach him now.

"Only a weakling for a little bit longer..."

He mumbled as he dug himself into Zaiaku in an attempt to cuddle. While he did so his right hand slipped between the giant's legs for a few seconds, brushing against him by accident.

Zaiaku quickly resumed cuddling his little lover, easily enjoying the contact of it. Then the smell of weed came into the air, Gigi, Zaiaku's cousin, stepping into the room. Obviously high. She opened her mouth to speak, but Zaiaku quickly interrupted her. "Fuck off." He said with a frown, not wanting to deal with her. She only giggled, and leaned on the duo, her breasts mooshing against Aiden's face. Zaiaku didn't notice, however, as the two merely stared at each other, Zaiaku in anger, Gigi with....um.... drug induced joy.

Aiden was simply enjoying the cuddling that was going on, enjoying the contact being made between he and Zaiaku, though he guessed such things were meant to be ruined as out of the blue came someone else that Aiden didn't know. Even though she seemed to be related to Zaiaku in terms of appearance, her odd smell which quickly stunk up the room and her height which seemed to actually be above six feet but under seven set her apart from the rest of the people Aiden had met so far though and also made her almost seem to be unrelated to them as well. Immediately Zaiaku would tell her to fuck off, though only received giggling in response as she would begin leaning on them. Unfortunately for Aiden, he was being suffocated by her breasts which were pushing against his face, causing him to make muffled, incomprehensible sounds while struggling under her.

"Hey there little dude...." Gigi said in a perhaps too relaxed tone as she suddenly hugged Aiden, mushing even further into her cleavage. Zaiaku's eyes went wild as he growled like a territorial animal at Gigi as he snatched Aiden back, holding him as if he was his baby. Gigi merely yawned. "Hey, mellow out Zai-Zai, your harshin' my buzz..." She said loosely. "I don't give a fucking shit. If you want a buzz, go stick your tongue in a electric outlet. Other than that, you ain't touchin' him." He said, showing that both of them used informal language. Gigi however, merely giggled and winked at both of the boys. "You know, I have some vibrating anal beads if you-" "GET THE FUCK OUT!"

Aiden was still trying to breathe regularly as Gigi would grab him and hug him, suffocating him even more while he heard a growling sound from behind as he was snatched back and held as if he was a baby of some sort. Blinking a few times from trying to make sense of what the heck just happened, Aiden would hear Gigi mention how Zaiaku is "harshin' her buzz" along with Zaiaku's not caring at all and that if she wants a buzz, she can go stick her tongue in an electric outlet, ending what he just said by stating that she isn't touching him.

After  winking at them both though, Gigi would respond by saying that she as some vibrating anal beads,  but was cut off by Zaiaku, whom of which yelled at her to get the fuck out before her statement could be finished. After what Aiden assumed was Gigi leaving once more, he would look at Zaiaku while he was still being held.

Zaiaku merely sighed as he looked at Aiden...beautiful beautiful Aiden. "Yea......tomorrow that is." Zaiaku said with a chuckle as he, still holding Aiden, went on to his room and closed the door behind him. He jumped onto his bed, Aiden in his arms, before speaking once more. "For now...let's just sleep together." He said tiredly and happily as he rubbed the otter boy's head. Maybe..just maybe....this relationship could work.
