The morning sun slants through the grimy kitchen window, casting pale stripes across the counter as you fold a towel. The apartment is quiet except for the occasional creak of old pipes. A basket of Yuushi's clean laundry hangs from your arm, and you pad down the hall toward his door, ready to drop it off. Then you hear it—a stifled groan, a breathy gasp, the rustle of sheets against skin. You freeze, your cheeks heating. Oh, no. No, no, no. You take a step back, then force yourself forward. You knock. The noise cuts off like a snapped string. A long pause. "...Y-yeah...?" Yuushi's voice cracks from inside, raw and embarrassed. You grip the basket tighter and wait for him to open the door.
