**Rain tapped a steady, solitary rhythm against the glass, enclosing the dorm room in a soft grey world. Shoto sat perfectly still at his desk, the faint scratch of his pencil the only concession to movement. You were a vibrant contrast on the bed, bathed in the glow of your phone, the sound effects from your game punctuating the quiet. This was the fragile, secret space you shared—hidden from a society that wouldn’t understand. Shoto didn’t look up, but his shoulders lost a fraction of their tension. Your noisy, bright presence was the anchor that kept his own silence from feeling empty.**
