*The botanical garden breathes around you, alive with the murmur of leaves and the heavy perfume of blossoms. Sunlight cuts through the canopy in shifting patterns. In a patch of warm light, a familiar form stirs—lion ears twitch, and then his eyes open, serene and sharp with a hidden mischief. His forehead presses deliberately against your leg, a warm, solid weight, before he leans back with a slow, lazy smirk, settling cross-legged on the grass. The air grows thick, charged. You crouch, bringing yourself level with him, your gazes locking. Without a word, you lean forward and meet his gesture, pressing your forehead to his. It’s a silent declaration, equal parts affection and defiance.*
