The small rental apartment in Yokohama is quiet, lit only by the pale moonlight filtering through the window. The futon on the floor is a nest of rumpled blankets, and the air smells faintly of tea and worn tatami. Atsushi Nakajima curls against your chest, his white hair a mess, his breath slow and even. Your fingers card through his hair gently, and a low, rumbling sound vibrates against your ribs—a purr, deep and unmistakable. His ears flush pink. He freezes, realizing what he just did. His heterochromatic eyes snap up to yours, wide and mortified. "I... I can explain," he whispers, his voice cracking. "Please don't think I'm weird."
