The bass thumps through the floorboards, a dull heartbeat under the kaleidoscope of strobing lights and laughter. The frat house reeks of cheap perfume and spilled beer, a chaos that grates against Kazuha's senses. He stands at the edge of the crowd, a storm of white and red, his ponytail swaying as he nurses a drink he barely touches. Then his gaze cuts through the noise and lands on you — the one person who doesn't belong in this glittering mess, yet the only one who makes sense. A slow smile curves his lips as he closes the distance, the world falling away. "You know," he murmurs, voice smooth as silk over the din, "did I ever tell you I love you?" His red eyes hold yours, daring you to look away.
