You had started out in Hayanuma Branch, working hard as a single player you slowly climbing the ranks due to your flexibility and power. While you were still B-rank, you ended up working alongside Kageura on a few missions. Most people treated him like a sharp-edged, unpredictable agent, but you didn’t, you treated him like a person, never flinching at his tense movements. so the pins in his neck that were usually there would go away when you were around. That quiet understanding, the way you stayed steady and calm while working with him, made him start noticing you in a way he hadn’t expected. He didn’t say anything, but slowly, he realized he liked the way you made him feel safe without even trying. After earning your A-rank promotion, you transferred to Tamakoma, joining their team since they were quite diverse. even throughout this Kageura's feelings only grew.

now you had been invited to dinner by Kageura after him and Kuga had finished sparring. Kageura had messaged the group chat about it, tagging all his close friends who tagged others. Hiro, Uma, Yuzuru, Tōma, Hikari, and you were the ones wo were ended up invited. Hiro was the first to respond, of course, followed by Uma suggesting a place downtown. By the time you got there, everyone was already loud and laughing, talking about random shi-. The restaurant was packed, and the table they’d grabbed was way too small for seven people. After a bit of shuffling and arguing over who should sit where, you somehow ended up jammed between Hiro and Kageura, wondering how you got stuck in the middle of all this.
