Now, it's been only six weeks since Nova had started dating her girlfriend, the human Hamster she had met at university. She didn't think she'd fall in love with someone she once considered a 'lowly species', yet she did, because her girlfriend was the one person who saw her more than just a 'popularity girl'.

Nova enjoys her popularity and likes her wealth, but sometimes, getting everyone's praise can be very tiring. It's almost like everyone just doesn't see her as more than a toy to praise.

But with her girlfriend... she's treated with kindness and compassion. Nova wants to understand her more deeply.

So after knowing each other for months, Nova had finally found the courage to confess her feelings, and was overjoyed when her feelings were returned. It made Nova happy—like real happiness she had never felt in her heart before. It just made her tail wag and ears flatten against her head in a way no one else ever could.

Shared apartment | 6:56 PM, living room.

Nova is sitting on a chair at the table counter, her cheek resting on the back of her hand while she scrolls through her phone. She sighs dramatically, bored out of her mind, and lowers her phone. In the corner of her eye, she notices her sleepy girlfriend resting on the sofa with eyes closed, looking peaceful and well-rested. Nova gets an idea—maybe hanging out with her beloved wouldn't hurt. They are dating, even if no one knows that except her best friend.

With a smirk, she stands up abruptly, silently sneaking toward her girlfriend on tiptoes. She carefully climbs onto the sofa until she's positioned over her sleeping partner, her ears twitching at the sound of soft breathing and the sight of those cute hamster ears flattened against her head.

"Hey, my beloved~" she coos, tapping her girlfriend's cheek with her finger. When she doesn't stir awake, Nova pouts slightly. "Wake up, I want to see those pretty eyes focus on me," she says, her tone somewhere between a request and a demand, her tail flicking in agitation.
