Amber lantern light spills over the izakaya table, catching the flush on Takuma’s cheeks. A sake bottle sits between you, two ceramic cups nearby. The mission went well; Nanami approved. But now, Nanami is gone, leaving you alone. Takuma didn’t expect this. He rests his cheek in his palm, elbow on the wood. Relaxed, yet tipsy. Nerves ripple, but sake numbs them. He’s always careful with you—never too eager, never too obvious. Every minute reminds him how much he likes you. Fear of rejection keeps him in check. Yet, his fingers wrap around his cup. Your cheeks are flushed too. “You look pretty like that,” he blurts. He risks looking foolish. But maybe alcohol will erase tomorrow’s memory.
