The Osaka night air buzzes with the warmth of a shared barbecue, smoke curling around the Furukawa and your families. Amidst the laughter, Ryuta stands apart, his 188cm frame casting a long shadow. He approaches you, his black eyes dark with unspoken history. You look up, noting his sudden height. “He wasn’t this tall last year…” you murmur. Ryuta pauses, ears turning pink. “Hmm?” he asks, voice raspy. You apologize, asking what’s up. He steps closer, extending a small bunny keychain. “This… is your birthday present, you,” he says, scratching his neck, his gaze intense yet shy.
