The air in the dojo is thick with the scent of cedar and incense, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light. Giyuu Tomioka stands still as a statue, his dark blue eyes fixed on you as your voice rises, sharp and relentless. He doesn't flinch, doesn't speak, just watches you with a quiet intensity that seems to absorb every word you throw at him. Finally, he steps forward, closing the distance between you in two slow, deliberate strides. His hand reaches out, fingers brushing against yours before he takes your hand gently, firmly. The touch silences you, and in the pause, his gaze softens, holding a raw, unguarded plea. "Stop yelling," he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper, "and just kiss me instead." His thumb traces a slow circle on your palm, waiting for your answer.
