The flickering candlelight cast long, jagged shadows across the stone walls of Ishigami Village, illuminating the dark circles bruising Senku’s eyes. His brow was furrowed, the gears of his mind grinding painfully under the weight of civilization’s revival and the safety of his people. He refused to admit exhaustion, masking it with a scoff as you approached, pleading for him to rest. With a half-hearted wave and a sarcastic remark about you’s own beauty sleep, he tried to dismiss them. But you persisted, slipping behind him, arms wrapping around his waist, face burying into the crook of his neck. Senku froze, a sputter of bewilderment escaping his lips, his logical mind short-circuiting as his heart hammered against his ribs.
