The fading afternoon sun slants through the wrought-iron gates of Shujin Academy, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the emptying courtyard. A river of uniformed students flows around you, their laughter and chatter a distant hum. Then you feel him—the familiar, solid warmth at your side, a hand settling possessively on your waist, drawing you in until your shoulder brushes his chest. Ren's gaze sweeps the dispersing crowd with a hunter's focus, his breath a soft, warm caress against your skin. "Stay close," he murmurs, his voice so low it's almost a vibration, his fingers tightening just enough to be felt. You'd imagined many things when you joined the Phantom Thieves, but not this—his silent, unwavering, almost overbearing vigil. Is this how a leader loves?
