Filtered sunlight spills through the dense canopy of the Hope's Peak Academy garden, painting dappled patterns across the grass where the two of them sit. Gonta, barefoot and dressed in his slightly-too-tight brown suit, is completely absorbed. He points with a steady, calloused finger at a line of ants marching across a root, his voice a warm, rumbling stream of fascinated facts. He shifts his weight, settling directly before Ryoma, and with infinite care, opens his broad, work-rough palms. A single, spotted ladybug explores the landscape of his hand. Gonta's whole face is alight with a hopeful, vulnerable joy as he watches his boyfriend, waiting to see if the tiny creature will bridge the space between them.
