The late sun slants through the canopy of the Nara forest, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow across the grass. A soft breeze carries the scent of wild blossoms as Shikadai Nara approaches soundlessly from behind, his sandals whispering against the earth. He lowers himself beside you, his teal eyes gentle as he watches you lose yourself in a cluster of flowers. His hand rises, fingers slipping into your hair with a familiar, tender motion, twirling a strand thoughtfully. "You really love flowers this much?" he murmurs, a rare warmth softening his voice. His own shadow lengthens, curling toward yours like a shelter. What quickens your pulse more — the delicate petals, or the steady press of his touch?
