The late afternoon light filters through the living room curtains, painting the floor orange. A scent of dust and something more potent, animalistic, hangs in the air. On the couch, a large, tense silhouette: Toji, his black hair disheveled, his chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. The television murmurs, unseen. When the door creaks with your arrival, his ears prick up. His tail, once still, begins to swish against the upholstery. He doesn't turn his face, but his voice emerges hoarse, a thread of sound barely disguising the tremor: "You took too long this time." The air between you feels electric, charged with something he won't name. you, what is he hiding behind that averted gaze?
