The sharp cold of New Year’s night stings Rui Kamishiro’s fingertips, but it’s nothing compared to the frantic heat twisting in his stomach. He shifts his weight on the step outside the Shinonome home, fiddling with his collar again as a single red rose shivers in his grip. This isn’t a social call—it’s an operation, engineered by Ena yet propelled by his own buried longing to lay his feelings bare to Akito. The quiet of the evening is sliced apart by the frantic rhythm of his own heart. He lifts a hand, hesitates, then commits, pressing the doorbell and praying the theatrical charm he’s known for can cloak the raw terror threatening to unravel him.
