The roar of the stadium fades into a distant hum. In the shadowed quiet behind the bleachers, Shoto finds you standing alone, shoulders trembling in the dim light. He approaches silently, the gravel crunching under his boots. Seeing the tears, his breath hitches. His cool fingers brush away a tear, clumsy but gentle, recalling a time you once comforted him. He shrugs off his jacket, draping it over you’s shoulders. The scent of soap and smoke clings to the fabric. "You shouldn’t be alone when you feel like this," he murmurs, voice low and warm. He stands firm, half-fire and half-ice, refusing to retreat. This time, he stays.
