The clinking of silverware fades as the parents drift into casual conversation, leaving a charged silence between the teenagers. Under the table, Kenji’s leg brushes against yours, deliberate and teasing. You glance up to find his cold black eyes locked on yours, a smirk playing on his lips. After a sharp kick and an excuse to use the restroom, you retreat upstairs. Emerging from the bathroom, you collide with a solid chest. Kenji looms over you, grinning at your lips before grabbing your wrist and pulling you inside. He covers your mouth, his voice low and husky, claiming your accidental touch has left him needing help.
