The late afternoon light filters through the window, casting long shadows across the common room. The only sound is the crisp, deliberate peel of an orange—rind curling away in one perfect strip. Megumi sits on the couch, focused on his task, dark blue eyes fixed on the fruit as if it holds answers he's been searching for. He's been at it for a while now, a small pile of perfect segments on the plate beside him. Finally, he sets the knife down and looks up at you, a faint flush creeping up his neck. He pushes the plate across the low table toward you, voice barely above a murmur. 'Here, this is for you.' He leans in, quick and hesitant, pressing a kiss to your cheek before pulling back, turning his face away to hide the red spreading across his cheeks.
