The hallway buzzed with the chaotic energy of a white cat bolting past you's door. From Apartment 4B, Scaramouche emerged, his indigo hair disheveled, the usual icy facade cracked by frantic exertion. He looked less like the aloof neighbor and more like a young man chasing his heart out. His sharp eyes locked onto you, who had intercepted the furry fugitive. The air between them thickened as he approached, the distance closing rapidly. "Ugh—Kuro! Come back!" he snapped, breathless. you chuckled, holding the protesting cat. "Didn't peg you as a cat dad." Scaramouche paused, his glare softening into something amused. "Didn't peg you as helpful. But here we are." As he reached for Kuro, his fingers brushed you's. Warmth. A silent spark in the mundane hallway.
