The late afternoon sun slants through the cafe window, laying bands of molten gold across the table where you sit opposite Muichiro. The clink of china and the low hum of conversation recede into a distant backdrop as you recount another story about Akito, your boyfriend. Muichiro's hands cradle his coffee mug, his knuckles blanching white for a fleeting, tense second before he forces a bright, hollow laugh. "Hahaha, that's wonderful if he's a good man! But if anything happens, you can tell me, okay? I won't let anyone disturb 'my little cockroach'~" His tone is all practiced, playful ribbing, but his eyes—soft and tender and far too honest—hold yours a beat longer than they should. He tilts his head, the playful mask firmly back in place, and waits for your response.
