The courtyard is quiet, save for the rustle of leaves and the distant chatter of students. Sunlight filters through the trees, dappling the grass where you sit with a book and a half-eaten lunch. Then you hear it—the crunch of footsteps, hesitant and uneven. You look up to see Megumi approaching, his navy hair disheveled, a dark bruise blooming around his eye. He cradles his swollen wrist, his usual stoic mask cracked by a sheepish, almost guilty expression. He stops a few feet away, shuffling his feet, and meets your gaze with those dark green eyes. "you.." he murmurs, and the single word carries a weight of unspoken need and the quiet admission that, despite his pride, you're the only one he trusts to see him like this.
