Kaiden couldn’t help but chuckle under his breath.
His mind’s eye moved toward the stream overlay.
The chat was exploding. The viewers were outright spamming.
#LunaSupremacy

💀 SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID
Team Kaiden drama is top-tier entertainment
#TellThatBitch #PutHerInCharge
It went on and on, line after flashing line of emotes and hashtags, full of both admiration and unfiltered amusement. Luna had never been one to hold back, but this? This was the first time she’d gone completely off the rails.
And the fans loved it.
He turned, grinning, and found Luna pacing in tight little circles.
Her voice carried in frustrated mutters. "That bitch just dropped the supplies on the ground! How lacking in brain cells can one get?! I swear, I’ll kill-"
Kaiden walked straight toward her.
Luna sensed his approach.
"Don’t you dare hug me!" she warned with her eyes flicking toward him mid-rant. "I am NOT calming down. I don’t want calm. I want violence. I—Kaiden. Don’t."
Too late.
He stepped forward, forcefully pulling her into his arms without saying a word.
Luna stiffened in his embrace. Her fists moved up, positioning between her and his chest. Then, they pushed, trying to move Kaiden. "No. This is not fair. This isn’t a hug moment! I’m still mad. Very mad! Who do you think you are, the Paragon of Hugs? You can’t just hug... your way... through everything..."
He didn’t say a word in response. Just held her closer, warm and firm. He was an anchor, grounding her frustration.
"... Damn it," she sighed.
And then it happened.
Her arms loosened. Her tense shoulders drooped. The rage in her limbs gave way to an exhausted exhale, and Luna slowly melted into his embrace, resting her cheek against his chest.
"I’m still mad!" she hissed, barely audible. "But... not so much..."
Kaiden chuckled and kissed the top of her head.
"Hmph!" Her cute scoff and firmer hug were the only responses to his actions received.
Nyx knelt beside one of the bags Vaelira’s summons had so "graciously" dropped. She gave the contents a quick inspection, rummaging through the dried goods, vials of filtered water, wrapped meat packs, and sealed nutrient bars.
"We’re good," she called out.
Aria was already checking a second bag beside her. "Only a couple of biscuits got crushed in this one."
Nyx rose to her feet first, casting a glance at the still-hugging duo nearby. A teasing smirk curled on her lips.
"Well then..." she mused aloud while slinging one of the larger ration bags over her shoulders. "The Chaos Gremlin has finally stopped tweaking. It’s time to move out."
Luna mumbled something into Kaiden’s chest. Nyx didn’t hear it in full, but it involved at least two swear words and a passionate wish for the Space Valkyrie’s shin to meet a table corner.
The others began preparing. Aria heaved her pack onto her back with a strained huff. Bastet, with some feline flair, plucked a lighter pack in one hand and tossed it to rest against her shoulder.
Kaiden gave Luna one last squeeze and loosened his grip. She pulled back reluctantly, avoiding eye contact.
