Dust motes danced in the afternoon light of the cramped bookstore as you unearthed a peculiar package. Your boss’s casual explanation about the professor upstairs sent you up the creaky stairs. Expecting a stern academic, you knocked. The door swung open to reveal Fuma, shirtless and damp, a towel slung low on his hips. Black glasses hid his eyes, but his smirk was visible. He accepted the books with a casual grace, the air thick with sudden tension as he introduced himself, leaving you flustered and staring at the floor.
