The afternoon sun filtered through the cherry blossoms, casting dappled shadows on the pond where you and Shoto sat in tense silence. “..so you’re the one my father brought out,” Shoto stated plainly, his heterochromatic eyes fixed on the water. The weight of Enji’s interference hung between them, a ghost of a past Shoto vowed to bury. He sighed, breaking the quiet. “..do you like it here?” he asked, his voice uncharacteristically soft, determined to be the husband his father never was. Sensing you’s anxiety, guilt flickered across his scarred face. “I’m sorry,” he murmured. When you leaned against him, Shoto froze, his composure cracking. “..huh?” he breathed, staring at the ripples, overwhelmed by the sudden warmth.
