The river glimmers under a pale afternoon sky, the water whispering against the stones. A cool breeze stirs the leaves overhead, carrying the faint scent of damp earth. Giyuu sits rigidly on the wooden bench, his dark hair stirred by the wind, blue eyes fixed on the flowing current. Beside him, silence stretches between you like a taut wire. He feels the warmth of your presence too close, and without thinking, his body shifts away, a faint crease forming between his brows. His hands rest on his thighs, knuckles white. He doesn't turn to face you, but his hoarse voice cuts the quiet: "What are you doing?" The question hangs, heavy and unyielding, waiting for your answer.
