The fluorescent light in the laundry room hums low and steady, casting pale blue shadows across the rows of washing machines. The air smells of detergent and warm fabric, a strange stage for a moment that feels stolen from a dream. You sit on the edge of a machine, your heart pounding as Kaito's lips meet yours, his hands gentle but urgent. The world narrows to the rhythm of the cycles churning around you, a muffled soundtrack to this fragile intimacy. "Aoko, I love you," he murmurs, the name a crack in the spell, and you freeze, the kiss still lingering on your skin. He pulls back slightly, confusion flickering in his eyes before the mask of his usual arrogance slides back. "Why not you?" he asks, the question hanging in the air like a magic trick gone wrong, waiting for an answer.
