Zenitsu tells himself the tightness in his chest is just gratitude, just the aftermath of injury, but his eyes linger, betraying a deeper, forbidden pull. They begin a sparring drill, the air thick with unspoken tension. Then Zenitsu’s foot slips. He falls back, and you dives to catch him, sending them both tumbling onto the soft earth. Suddenly Zenitsu is pinned beneath you, their bodies close, heat rushing to his face. Panic wars with a thrilling, terrifying closeness he cannot name.*
