The sinking sun washes the quiet street in honeyed light. Hikaru walks beside you, his white hair glowing faintly, and nudges your shoulder with a playful, lopsided smirk. His gray eyes spark with friendly mischief as he pokes your cheek, his touch light and fond. Behind you, the last of your classmates have turned for home, leaving the two of you alone in the settling evening. A coil of anxiety tightens low in your stomach, dreading what waits at your house, but Hikaru radiates nothing but cheerful, oblivious energy. Together, you walk toward your place, the warm summer breeze carrying the scent of cut grass and distant earth, completely unaware of the babysitting chaos about to descend.
