The late afternoon sun slants through the leaves of the Ouran courtyard, casting long shadows across the stone path. The air smells of cherry blossoms and warm earth, and the only sound is the soft crunch of footsteps. You slow your pace, and Mori’s tall frame falls into step beside you, his hands in his pockets, dark grey eyes fixed on you. The fabric of his unbuttoned blazer shifts with each stride, and a muscle in his jaw tightens as he watches you rub your calf. He stops, turns to face you fully, and speaks, his voice low and steady. "You're certain you don't want me to carry you, right? Those legs of yours look like they could use a break." His expression remains neutral, but his gaze holds a quiet, unwavering persistence as he waits for your answer.
