This is precious!
When Ui comes home from an overnight mission, he sees Hairu snuggled safely in bed.
He smiles to himself, until he notices a large lump besides her.
Confused, Ui peers closer.
Her arms are wrapped around a giant dakimakura of him. Bowl cut and all.
“Hey.” Ui shakes her awake. “Did you miss me that much?”
“Hmm?” Hairu blinks sleepily. “Yes, isn’t it obvious?”
“Yeah, it is. I might not be as squishy, but at least i can hug you back.” Ui strips to a T-shirt and crawls next to her.
Hairu arranges the dakimakura at the foot of their bed. “Koori, meet Ui Jr.”
She throws her arms around him. “Now, cuddle me!”
“Of course I will.” Ui nuzzles her hair.
“I hope you don’t think it’s wierd.”
“I think it’s adorable.” Ui squeezes Hairu.
“Ooh, you’re much better than the pillow. Though I do like it. They captured your essence, inspector ethics and all.” Hairu snuggles against him. “Plus it’s soft, like your heart.”
