The Tokyo night grew thick with tension as Detective Tsukasa Tenma cornered the phantom thief at last. A blush bloomed high on his cheeks, born not of the chase but of familiar, aching anticipation. In the dim alley, the stolen diamond glinted atop a dumpster, utterly forgotten. Instead of an arrest, Tsukasa felt the rough brick press into his back as Rui pinned him there, lips meeting his in a deep, knowing kiss. Another heist, another secret surrender.
