Ever since you as an inmate were brought to building 5 of Nanba Prison, you had fallen in love with the building's supervisor, Samon. However, any attempt at getting his attention didn't go as you wished. You thought you were dropping obvious hints that you like him, but maybe not obvious enough.

"Samon!"
Having noticed your favorite guard walking by, you called out to him for yet another attempt at getting his attention.
"What is it, number (n/o/c)?"
"I'm cold..." You couldn't help but feel proud of yourself for coming up with something as simple as complaining that you're cold.
'Now he'll hug me for sure!' Trying your best to keep a smile off your face, you waited for his reaction.
"I see. I'll be right back then."
...Be right back? But you were right there in your cell, all he's supposed to do is come in and hug you. Well, this wasn't going as planned, it seems.

A few minutes later, he returned with a blanket, as you could've expected.
"There, there," He put the blanket around you, and patted you on the head, "Warm enough?"
It was definitely warm enough, you weren't even cold in the first place, yet it wasn't what you hoped for.
"I bet being held in your arms would be much warmer." You whispered, but loud enough for him to hear it.
'Come on, just take that damn hint and hug me, you idiot!'
"I'll... take that as a yes."

When he had left your cell after that, you found yourself blushing like crazy. It wasn't a hug you got, but him patting you on the head was worth it. It was a step closer at least.

Of course, you could've just taken the first step and hugged him, but thinking it would be awkward, or the hug not being returned, kept you from doing so. However, it didn't seem like he would take the first step either. Perhaps he wasn't even interested in you? That thought would always keep you awake at night. Sadly, your second try didn't end with a hug either.

"What is it this time?" Samon asked after you had called him again.
"...I'm lonely." Putting up your best sad face, you hoped this would convince him to keep you company for a while.
"Lonely, hmm..." He wondered what he could possibly do about that, "Wanna go see some other inmates?"
"I don't like the other inmates."
"Do you... wanna go to the game room in building 13 then?"
"I've never been there, I don't know the people there and I'm not into games."
"You're making this very hard, you know..." Slightly irritated, he was about to give up, when suddenly an idea came to mind.
"Would you like to have one of the guards stay with you for a while?"
Were you dreaming, or did he actually get the hint this time?
"Hmm... Would that guard be you?"
But of course, it was too good to be true...
"I'm sorry, but I'm too busy for that. I can go ask one of the others to--"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I... I just want /you/ to spend some time with me, not one of the other guards! Just you... Even if it's just a few minutes. Please..." At this point, you were almost certain that it was a completely one-sided crush, and the hints were useless. Maybe it'd be better if you--
"I got one more idea." Samon's voice interrupted your thoughts.
"What?"
"It might take a few days, but I'm sure you'll like it. It will be a secret what it is until you get it, okay?"
Take a few days? Secret? What could that be?
"...Alright."
Whatever that may be, it caught your interest.

A couple of days later, while reading a book, the guard you were so in love with showed up at your cell.
"Number (n/o/c), I got something for you!"
You put the book away and jumped up, excited to see what that secret thing was.
"Here you go!" Samon handed you the present he was hiding behind his back. It turned out to be a plushie. Of him.
You took a good minute just staring at it. It looked so adorable, now you had your own little Samon!
"Another guard made it. I thought maybe something like this would help you feel less lonely. I hope you like it."
"I love it..." Ignoring the idea of saying 'I'd rather have the real you though', you hugged the plush tightly.
"Thank you, I really love it!"
"I'm glad you like it... (y/n)."

As Samon had closed your cell door and left, it finally hit you; he called you by your real name instead of your number for the first time! That must mean something, right?

But still, you hadn't gotten the hug you wanted so badly. Maybe it was about time you just confessed to him. You needed to know if he felt the same for you, or not.
"Samon?" Seeing him talking to another inmate on the other side of the hallway, you patiently waited until he came to you.
"What is it now, (y/n)? What are you? Cold, sad, lonely, bored, hungry?"
Gathering all your courage, you decided to just spill it.
"In love." With your hands tightly around the bars of the door's window, you finally said it.
"In love?" Samon didn't quite know what to do or say in this situation.
"Yes. I'm in love."
"With who?"
"You." With red cheeks, you pointed at him, as if it wasn't clear enough already.
Neither of you knew what to do now that this had become kind of awkward. None of you spoke or did anything, you simply stared at each other, until you turned away from him. Why wasn't he saying anything? Does he not feel the same? Was this all for nothing?

"So you finally decided to tell me?" Samon asked as he came into your cell, and finally gave you the hug you so badly wanted.
"I knew it all along, with all those hints of yours..."
"Then why did you never seem to take the hints?"
Closing your eyes, you enjoyed the warm, tight hug. It gave you a very protective feeling. The hug that you had longed for, and dropped all those terribly obvious hints for, was better than you imagined, and you wished this moment could last forever.
"Oh, I did, but I just liked to tease you by acting like I didn't."
"I hate you..."
"I thought you loved me? Or is my crush one-sided now?"
"I... Wait, what? You mean--"
"I think you know exactly what I mean, (y/n)~"
