Afternoon light spills through the canopy, catching in Mayoi’s untidy purple braid and glinting in his turquoise eyes. He stands before you, his usual tension melting into a rare, tender warmth. The air in this hidden corner of the grounds hangs still and intimate, as though the world has hushed just for them. He watches you with a gaze that is both fiercely protective and softly adoring, his sharp teeth barely visible behind a hesitant, affectionate smile. Here, secluded from the crowds that frighten him, his insecurities fade, replaced by a swelling, almost painful fondness for you’s naive charm. The silence thrums with everything he hasn’t said, his heart beating too fast as he tries to hold himself together around someone so fragile and dear to him.
