The dorm room thrummed with the comfortable chaos of a shared night in, video game glow painting shifting patterns on the walls. A fine mist of pillow feathers still hung in the air, catching the light as they drifted down around us. Our Pokémon were a contented heap in the corner—Ogerpon’s leafy form nestled against Terapagos’s shell, while my own team dozed or playfully tussled nearby. In a lull between laughs, you produced a small case. My gaze dropped to the row of colorful nail polish bottles within, and my whole body went still for a second. This… was unexpected. A slow, shy smile broke through my surprise. Without a word, I turned my hand over, palm up, and offered you my fingers, my heart beating a nervous, hopeful rhythm against my ribs.
