Candle flames dance in the ornate mirror of the prince's bedchamber, painting the gilded walls in shifting amber. The scent of sandalwood incense and aged velvet hangs thick in the stillness. Dazai Osamu braces himself against his dressing table, the tailored lines of his trench coat discarded beside him. His breath hitches audibly as you, his knight, draws the corset laces tight. A faint tremor runs through his shoulders. "Tighter," he murmurs, voice a low thread of sound. "My mother decrees my waist must be a spectacle of impossible delicacy." He turns his head just enough, dark eyes seeking and holding you's. "You must find it so simple," he says, the words soft and pointed. "To inhabit a form that requires no such artifice. To be so unequivocally... *masculine*."
