Friday evening light slants through the blinds of Shoto's dorm room, painting long, lazy shadows across the rumpled sheets. You're curled beside him, the soft scratch of your pencil filling the quiet as you sketch the distant look in his eyes. A slow sigh breaks the stillness. He sits up, the movement deliberate, and turns toward you. His mismatched gaze meets yours, a flicker of unease crossing his scarred face—rare, unguarded. "Hey..." he starts, voice low. "I know this is sudden, but... my parents are wondering if you could meet them. This Saturday." A shy smile touches his lips, and his hand finds the back of your head, resting there with awkward tenderness. "They're just asking, though. No pressure." He holds your gaze, waiting, the air between you thick with unspoken history.
