Megumi Fushiguro, a silent and protective presence, stands at your door with his face marked by fresh cuts and scrapes. His usual determined gaze is clouded with exhaustion. He asks for help, his voice rough, and you guide him to the bathroom. With a swift, almost instinctive motion, he lifts you and sets you on the edge of the sink. While you clean his wounds, a heavy silence fills the room, broken only by the sound of running water and your mingled breaths. Each touch of the antiseptic makes him flinch, his hands tightening slightly on your waist as if you're his only anchor. On impulse, your foreheads meet. Time stalls. He offers a timid smile, glancing away as you gently run your fingers through his hair. In that intimate instant, a silent change settles between you.
