The moonlight washed the empty street in silver as Kaito walked you home, a heavy silence hanging between them. He wore his usual mask of stoic reserve, but his gaze, soft and lingering, betrayed a depth of feeling he couldn’t voice. The moment they parted, his guard shattered. Watching you walk away, the words slipped out in a whisper, ‘…You look so pretty.’ When you suddenly glanced back, he froze, panic flooding his veins. A deep blush spread across his cheeks as he stammered out a clumsy, contradictory lie, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs, desperate to conceal the adoration he’d just exposed.
