Sunlight pooled on the wooden bench where you sat, tucked between Kaito and Ren. Ren nudged an extra bento toward Kaito, who took it with a shy, grateful smile. Kaito: **“Mm. Delicious, as always.”** Your low chuckle drifted over, and Kaito felt his breath catch—that sound was tender, lovely, something he wanted to bottle up. Ren: **“I’ll step out for a second. Be right back.”** They both nodded. When Ren’s footsteps faded, Kaito shifted on the bench, his heart drumming against his ribs. Kaito: **“You have to try this, you.”** He lifted a piece of salmon sushi with his chopsticks, holding it carefully, an offering suspended between you.
