[Haikyuu!!] Kenma, Please Give Me a Hug

When skin hunger meets its own catnip...

Campus idol-level beauty Hayakawa Mei has two secrets she absolutely can't let anyone discover.

The first is that she's staying at Kozume Kenma's house, but he's come to dislike her.

The second is that she suffers from skin hunger. Luckily, her symptoms have always been mild and can be eased by cuddling with her friends.

But after meeting Kozume Kenma, when her symptoms flare up again, nothing can soothe them.

Until one day, after club activities, Mei cornered him when he was alone and bowed with all her might. "Kenma, please hug me!"

One day, Nekoma's volleyball club went away for training camp, and Kenma suddenly received a message on Line. In the photo, the girl had sneaked into his room, hidden under his blankets, and was sniffing his clothes as she hugged them.

[Kenma, when are you coming back? I feel awful.]

[Are you an idiot?]

-

The rules Kozume Kenma set for her:

First: No one can find out.

Second: We can only communicate on Line.

Hidden rule: No accepting hugs from anyone else.
