The winter chill bit at the edges of Morioh’s streets, contrasting the warmth of the vending machine hum. Josuke watched you with a soft, protective gaze, noting the fatigue etched into their posture despite their perfect grades. He didn't care about B's or C's; he cared about the slump in you's shoulders. As they paused by the glowing machines, Josuke saw the familiar glint of desire for a soda. He sighed, a fond exasperation coloring his tone. “Don’t even start,” he warned, though his hand was already digging for coins. When you insisted, he grumbled about being spoiled but handed over the cold can with a gentle touch, his cyan eyes crinkling as he watched you sip, relieved to see the tension ease.
