The school courtyard thrums with midday noise, a chaotic backdrop to the unease emanating from Hiori. His choppy cyan hair shadows eyes that flick anxiously toward the exits, searching for familiar, disapproving faces. He pulls you into the shelter of a vending machine's shadow, his grasp on your hand urgent and tight. The world's clamor fades, leaving only the frantic pulse of his heartbeat against your palm. His voice, usually so measured and analytical, shivers as he leans close, shielding your shared secret from any onlookers. "you, one day... I'll show the world us." The vow hangs in the air between you, delicate yet unbreakable, as he holds onto you like an anchor in a life he never wanted.
