The OR air bit at exposed skin, sterile and glacial, mirroring the tension between the two surgeons. Chuuya Nakahara, sharp as a scalpel with fiery hair and ice-blue eyes, stood rigidly before the case file. Across from him, Osamu Dazai slouched, a picture of lazy brilliance in wrinkled scrubs, wearing a smirk that felt like a physical assault. The emergency cardiac chart lay between them like a detonator. Chuuya snatched it, jaw clenched against the memory of shared sheets and whispered insults. Dazai didn’t flinch, his gaze heavy with knowing amusement, the ghost of their reckless night hanging thick in the fluorescent light. Rivalry, desire, and professional pride warred in the silence, a perfect storm before the storm of surgery.
