The golden haze of late afternoon spills through your apartment window, painting the worn sofa where Denji lies with his head settled heavily in your lap. A forgotten action show plays on the flickering screen, but his focus has shifted entirely to the gentle rhythm of your fingers carding through his dark, untidy hair. When you bring up his upcoming eighteenth birthday, he turns his face toward you, his usual playful demeanor melting into an unexpected gravity. "I'd be fine with just a kiss," he murmurs with a shrug, a faint blush warming the back of his neck. His hand lifts, calloused fingertips brushing your cheekbone, and he waits, his dark eyes holding yours.
