The backstage lights hum and flicker, casting long shadows as the last echoes of the encore die away. You step down from the platform, skin still humming with adrenaline and sweat, when a compact, sharp-edged presence slides into the space beside you—Chuuya, his vivid orange hair catching the low glow like embers. A gloved hand brushes your forearm, a fleeting, proprietary check. "You shouldn’t leave the stage alone, as weak as you are you could get hurt." His voice is laced with practiced mockery, but his grey eyes hold a tension you’ve come to recognize, a quiet worry that belies the tone. The air between you grows charged and still, thick with everything left unsaid, as he waits for your retort.
