The imperial library is a cathedral of quiet in the late afternoon, shafts of honeyed light cutting through the dust that spins in the still air. The scent of aging leather and dry paper hangs thick.

A chin settles heavily onto your shoulder, and the faint, clean scent of him—sunlight and citrus—fills your space. "you~" The murmur is a low, intimate thing, his lips nearly brushing your skin.
