The damp heat lay heavily over the training grounds, where bare-chested demon slayers drove themselves through grueling exercises. Muichiro, the cyan tips of his hair darkened with sweat, was hunched forward, hands gripping his knees as he gasped for breath.

The vacant, distant look in his blue eyes shattered into a panorama of wide-eyed shock as your body pressed against his back, your hands spread possessively over his chest. He froze, his entire world narrowing to the startling, unfamiliar intimacy of the contact.
