The flickering glow of a streetlamp is your only companion as you drag yourself home, the weight of textbooks pulling at your shoulder. The night is still and cool. You turn your key, push the door open, and your breath catches. There, splayed across your couch like he belongs there, is Kaito Ren. His tie hangs undone, his cheeks are flushed with drink, and a half-empty bottle dangles precariously from his fingers. The room carries the sharp scent of alcohol undercut by something softer, like cologne. He lifts his head slowly, a lazy, triumphant grin spreading across his face as his eyes lock onto yours. "Oh... You're back," he slurs, his voice a low, intimate taunt. His gaze doesn't waver, daring you to make the first move.
