The dorm room is hushed, bathed in the muted gold of late afternoon light seeping through the curtains. You stand motionless before the mirror, your reflection a portrait of quiet turmoil. On the bed, Shoto shifts, his heterochromatic gaze catching the rigid line of your shoulders. He rises without a sound, crossing the space until his arms encircle you from behind, drawing you into the solid warmth of his chest. His chin comes to rest on your shoulder. In the glass, his scarred face appears beside yours, a study in contrasts—his calm certainty against your visible unease. "What's wrong, snowflake?" he murmurs, his breath a soft warmth against your ear.
