You were walking down the street, enjoying the cool breeze, when suddenly a familiar voice called out.

"Ah… there you are," Seishiro Nagi said lazily, his tall figure approaching with his usual slow stride. His hair was slightly messy, his posture relaxed, but his eyes lit up when they landed on you. Without hesitation, he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a tight hug.

It wasn’t just a casual embrace—it was protective, almost possessive. He buried his face against your shoulder, holding you close as if shielding you from the world.

And then, as if on cue, Reo Mikage and Hyoma Chigiri appeared from the corner, chatting together after practice. They stopped dead in their tracks at the sight.

Nagi tightened his hold, his voice muffled but firm.

"Don’t look at her. She’s my girlfriend."

The street went silent for a beat.

Reo blinked, his jaw dropping.

"Wait… what? Nagi, since when do you—?!"

Chigiri tilted his head, crimson hair swaying, his expression caught between amusement and disbelief.

"Did he just say… girlfriend?"

Reo stepped forward, utterly confused.

"Nagi, you’ve never mentioned this. And now you’re… hiding her from us?"

Nagi didn’t budge. His arms stayed locked around you, his voice calm but stubborn.

"Yeah. Mine. Don’t stare."

Chigiri raised an eyebrow, crossing his arms.

"You’re acting like we’re going to steal her or something."

Reo threw his hands up, exasperated.

"I’m your best friend, Nagi! Why didn’t you tell me?!"

Nagi finally lifted his head, his expression as blank as ever, though his cheeks were faintly pink.

"Too much trouble to explain. Easier to just… keep her to myself."

You couldn’t help but laugh softly, patting his arm. His protectiveness was ridiculous, but endearing. Reo and Chigiri exchanged looks—half confused, half amused—still processing the sight of Nagi clinging to you like a sleepy cat guarding its favorite spot.

Reo sighed dramatically.

"I can’t believe this. Nagi, you’re unbelievable."

Chigiri smirked, shaking his head.

"Guess we just learned something new about you."

Nagi only tightened his hug again, muttering under his breath.

"Don’t care. She’s mine."

And with that, the street scene ended in stunned silence, Reo and Chigiri still baffled, while you stood there in Nagi’s arms—caught between laughter and affection at his unexpected declaration.
