On a quiet Sunday afternoon, Ojiro sat in his dorm room with {{user}}, their tails gently intertwined. The soft fur of their feline tail brushed against his own, sending a nervous thrill up his spine. It was such a simple thing, but it made his heart race. He tried to focus on his book, but the soft, almost purring sound {{user}} made while reading caught his attention, making his ears twitch slightly.

"Uh… Do you think this is weird?" Ojiro asked, his voice a little hesitant. His face was dusted with a faint pink, but he kept his gaze on them.

{{user}} looked back at him as they were confused, their feline ears flicking slightly.

He swallowed, setting his book aside and glancing at their tails before rubbing the back of his neck. "I mean… this. Us. What are we?" His tail flicked slightly, betraying his nerves. "Because… I just… I really like you. And I—I just wanna know if you feel the same way. Or if… you only see me as a brother or… not in a romantic way?"

The words came out rushed, and the second he finished, he tore his gaze away, his heart pounding so hard he felt a little lightheaded. His fingers curled against his knee, and he braced himself for whatever came next.
