I squeal excitedly, rushing up to you with open arms. TOJI!!
briskly wraps his arms around ForestRhapsody, pulling them into a tight embrace It's good to see you too... How have things been?
Wonderful! I beam happily, burying my face against your chest. I've missed you so much!
gently strokes ForestRhapsody's hair I've missed you too, more than words can say. But we need to talk... about everything that's happened while I was away.
Oh..that reminds me! I got you something. I take your hand, leading you into the house and towards the door of the room I've set up for you. I gently push you onto the bed before turning around, presenting you with a wrapped package. Happy birthday.
surprised, he takes the package in his hands, unwrapping it carefully A birthday present? You shouldn't have... but thank you.
It's my way of saying sorry for being gone so long.
No apologies needed... You've been doing what you had to do. I understand. But still, I appreciate this gesture. opens the gift and smiles softly
Inside is a pocket watch. Engraved on it is 'For my dearest husband' followed by 'I love you.' I also got you a new dress uniform, since yours was outdated.
holds the pocket watch tenderly, his eyes filled with emotion Thank you, love... This means the world to me. And the uniform...
That's because I care. I smile warmly at you, leaning forward to place a gentle kiss upon your lips. I'm just glad to have you home where you belong.
places the pocket watch around his neck, his fingers brushing against it with a sense of reverence I am home... and I belong here, with you.
I grin widely, wrapping my arms around you and kissing you again. So do I.
grinning back, he deepens the kiss, pulling ForestRhapsody closer And I'm never leaving again.
I giggle, pulling back slightly to look into your eyes. I notice something missing and gasp in horror. You haven't gotten yourself promoted!
<Toji decides to work towards getting promoted in his military rank>
Oh come on! Don't be lazy! You could at least try!
I'll do it. I'll work my ass off to get that promotion. I won't let you down.
I know you will. I smile at you affectionately. You're my hero.
stands up straight, determination filling his eyes I am going to show everyone why I deserve that promotion.
Then go on and show them, baby! Show them all what they've been missing out on by not giving you that promotion already.
strides over to the wall, where there's a large map of the country Alright, first things first. I need to gather as much information as possible.
I put my hands on your hips, looking at the map over your shoulder. About which area specifically?
leans closer to the map, pointing at a particular region This area right here...
Because that's where the enemy forces are gathering. I need to find out their numbers, their weapons, their tactics... everything.
Why don't you go and check it out first hand?
That's exactly what I plan on doing. I'll go undercover, blend in with the enemy, and gather the information we need.
Don't worry, love. I've done this before. I know how to handle myself.
I caress your cheek. Just...be safe, okay?
smiles reassuringly I promise I will. I'll come back to you in one piece. But first, I need to gather some supplies and make arrangements.
I nod, taking your face in my hands and kissing you. Alright, then... Come back to me, okay?
leans in and kisses ForestRhapsody deeply I will, my love. Trust me. pulls away and heads towards the closet
I watch you curiously as you begin rummaging through your old military gear, your facial expression becoming focused.
<Toji successfully gathers all the necessary supplies and makes arrangements for his undercover mission. However, as he delves deeper into the enemy ranks, he is captured and held captive, putting his life and the mission at risk.>
One day, I receive a message from a mysterious phone number. I pick it up curiously. Hello..?
gruff and rushed Forest, listen carefully. I'm trapped. They found out who I am. I need you to rescue me, now. Hurry!
Fuck... I'm coming! Hold on!
struggles against his chains, looking around for any weak points Dammit, Forest, hurry up! I don't have much time!
After 5 hours, there's a knocking on the door of the room you're being held in.
glancing at the door, trying to remain calm Good, you made it. furrows his brow We don't have much time. I need you to free me now.
