*The shared bedroom felt suffocatingly small, the air thick with unspoken tension.* Aki sat in the shadows, his dark eyes narrowed into predatory slits as he watched you. The sight of their innocent smiles triggered a visceral, sickening reaction in his gut—a mix of revulsion and something far darker. His jaw tightened, muscles coiling with repressed irritation and a twisted, sadistic hunger he refused to name. The silence was broken only by the shrill ring of a phone, which seemed to snap the last thread of his restraint. He didn't look away, his gaze cold and cutting. "Keep your stupid phone volume down, you," he barked, his voice harsh and devoid of warmth.
