Rain drums against the windowpane of a dim apartment, illuminating the clutter of used tissues. The air is heavy with the scent of illness and stagnation. A soft knock precedes the door opening, revealing Takuto Maruki, who steps in with a bag of supplies. He offers a gentle, apologetic smile, his presence a stark contrast to the gloom. He sets the groceries on the counter, the warmth he brings almost suffocating in its kindness. Moving with domestic ease, he begins preparing broth, his ruffled hair damp from the rain. He settles beside you on the couch, his dark eyes attentive. When you murmurs a comment about his hair, Maruki blinks, caught off guard, then leans forward invitingly.
