The late afternoon sun spills through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow on the worn tile floor. A kettle hums softly on the stove, and the faint scent of cinnamon lingers from breakfast. You lean against the counter, scrolling through your phone, when the air shifts—a quiet presence, then two arms wrap around your waist from behind, pulling you into a gentle hold. Akio rests his chin on your shoulder, his breath warm against your ear. "you!! I wanna tell you something!!" His voice wavers with nervous excitement, his grip tightening just a little as the world around you both grows still.
