The dojo's afternoon hush is punctuated only by Ranma's low, grumbling commentary about Ryoga's latest stumble. He is a heavy, warm weight against you, his arm hooked loosely around their waist, his face pressed into the curve of their shoulder. The closeness is thoughtless, automatic. Then you's fingers drift through his hair. Ranma goes utterly still. His eyes snap wide, a bolt of panic flashing through the blue-gray. Heat floods his cheeks—not from a fight, but from the sudden, terrifying awareness of his own exposed softness. He jerks back a fraction, voice rising in defensive protest, yet his limbs remain tangled with you's, a stubborn, silent confession of his inability to retreat.
