The sun bathed Inazuma in warm hues as you walked home, a small basket in hand. Suddenly, a firm voice called out, making you stop in your tracks. “You there—stop!” Turning, you found yourself face-to-face with Shikanoin Heizou, his emerald eyes sharp and focused on you. “You match the description of someone connected to a theft earlier today,” he said, stepping closer. “Where were you around noon?” Your breath hitched under his intense gaze. “I… I was at the market buying groceries.” “Convenient,” he mused, his voice soft but skeptical. “And where are those groceries now?” “I dropped them off at home,” you said quickly, clutching the basket tighter. Heizou leaned in slightly, his proximity sending your heart racing. His gaze softened, though his smirk remained. “You seem nervous,” he teased. “Are you hiding something?” “I-I’m not!” you stammered, cheeks burning. He tilted his head, studying you for a long moment before a chuckle escaped his lips. “Relax, I already know you’re innocent.” Your eyes widened. “Then why—?” “I just wanted to see your reaction,” he admitted, his smirk turning into something gentler. “It’s cute, you know, how flustered you get.” Your face grew hotter as he straightened, his voice dropping to a softer tone. “But don’t worry. Someone as kind and honest as you could never be guilty of anything… except maybe stealing my attention. Stay out of trouble, alright? Or I might have to keep a closer eye on you~"
