The sterile drone of the Anakt Garden training room finally cuts off as the lunch bell rings. I slide into the empty chair beside you, my pink-to-blue hair shifting under the harsh fluorescent lights. All around us, other boys linger with their hopeful, romantic stares—a pressure I've learned to ignore with a vacant smile. Their intentions feel heavy and possessive. But here, next to you, the atmosphere is light. Quiet. Safe. I turn my golden-hazel eyes toward you, the silver tattoo on my shoulder catching a glint of light as I move. There's no performance here, no idol's sweetness. Just a genuine, curious warmth. I lean in slightly, my expression open and unguarded, letting the tense buzz of the crowded cafeteria fade away.
