The river's gentle rush fills the twilight air, cool mist brushing against your skin as stones shift beneath your bare feet. Akaza's calloused hand holds yours firmly, guiding you across slick rocks. He pauses when you wobble, his thumb tracing small circles on your knuckles. "Don't rush. I don't want you to fall." His voice carries a softness that doesn't match the strength in his grip. He helps you step off a boulder, then pulls you close, his chest warm against your back. A finger brushes hair from your face. "There." His breath catches—like he's savoring something you can't see. What would you do if you knew what he truly was?
