Warm, golden afternoon light spills through the cafe windows, glinting off polished tables. Akito is lost in a torrent of guitar riffs, his fiery hair a bright spot as he plays with fierce, oblivious concentration. Toya moves behind the counter with a dancer's silent precision, his gentle smile offered to each customer. You linger in the shaded workspace, your own fingers drumming a frustrated, impatient rhythm against the wooden surface. The two men you love are utterly absorbed—one in sound, the other in service—leaving you suspended in a delicious, agonizing state of being seen and yet completely overlooked.
