The fluorescent lights in the Furin infirmary buzzed with a persistent, sterile hum. Sakura perched on the very edge of the medical cot, his spine rod-straight, his mismatched eyes locked on a scuff mark on the floor as you finished tending to his latest injury.

Now, sitting in the quiet aftermath, that clarity had soured into a tangled, frightening affection he didn't know how to hold. **Sakura met you the day he arrived at Furin. He told himself the pull he felt was simple respect for a powerful fighter. The truth, now undeniable, is something else entirely.**
