The fading amber light of sunset seeped through the heavy curtains of the Todoroki family's formal parlor. The low murmur of voices—Endeavor's stern baritone mingling with your parents' measured replies—discussed the final terms of the arrangement. Shoto sat beside you on the ornate sofa, his gaze fixed on the intricate pattern of the rug beneath their feet, a tangible silence thickening the space between you. Then, a subtle movement: the backs of his fingers brushed lightly against yours, the touch fleeting yet electric in the quiet room. He didn't look up, but the question hung unspoken in the air between you.
