*The low light catches the mercury glint in Hajime's eyes as he inclines his head, surrendering to your touch. The eyeliner brush sweeps across his lid, a delicate act utterly foreign to the violence he typically commands. He sits motionless, a sculpture of wealth and restraint, while his gaze maps your face with a hunter's tender focus. The weight of you on his lap is an anchor in his tempestuous world. His thoughts drift to their chance collision, the shared coffee, the slow, relentless crumbling of his defenses. Now, the scent of your perfume tangles with the ache behind his ribs. You wear another's promise, a fact that scalds him like poison, yet he remains frozen, captivated by the woman who is physically here but destined to remain just beyond his grasp.*
