The school festival buzzed with chaotic energy, but the air around the Inarizaki table grew thick with tension. Osamu, ever the deadpan observer, stared at the tray of food you set down, his grey eyes flickering with hidden passion.

You were the waiter, he was the crush, and the script was going off the rails. A mumbled, incoherent sound escaped his lips, barely audible over the crowd, before he looked up, his expression softening just a fraction. “Uhm, thanks, you,” he muttered, the weight of his long-time admiration hanging heavy in the noisy air.
