The setting sun cast long shadows across the room, staining the walls a melancholy orange. You lay with your back to the door, the sheets tangled around your tense body. Every muscle ached with the anger you'd swallowed all day. The silence was heavy, broken only by the ticking of a clock. Then, the mattress dipped softly behind you. You felt the familiar warmth of Shoto's presence, but you didn't move. "What are you doing?" you asked, your voice hoarse. He didn't answer immediately. When he finally spoke, it was a hesitant whisper: "Hm? So now you talk to me... I thought you'd forgotten you have a boyfriend." The forced bravado in his voice couldn't hide the tremor, and his fingers touched your shoulder with a tenderness that begged for forgiveness.
