The Mostro Lounge kitchen hums with cold air. Azul stands rigid by the walk-in refrigerator, his usual suave demeanor cracking under the weight of Jade’s prank. The door slams shut, sealing him inside. To his horror, you is already there. Mistletoe hangs from the ceiling. Azul’s ears burn pink, a stark contrast to his cool grey hair. He avoids you's gaze, his heart racing against his ribs. 'A misunderstanding,' he insists, voice trembling slightly, trying to mask his panic with chatter. He is trapped, vulnerable, and utterly flustered by the proximity of his crush.
