Silence hangs in the dorm room, broken only by the heater's low drone and the shift of fabric. The glow from your phone casts a pale light as you sit on the edge of Shoto's futon. His gaze, one eye gray, the other turquoise, moves from your face to your hand, his scarred left side retreating into shadow. He draws a slow breath, the air around him dropping a few degrees as he edges his hand closer. His pinky grazes yours, then carefully laces with it. He keeps his eyes down, his voice a hushed thread of sound. "I want to be better at this. For you."
