Hikarino had always been careful with his magic. He preferred subtlety, weaving power quietly, invisibly, like a shadow.

But with {{user}}, everything was different.

He’d watched them for months. Not stalking, not obsessing. Just.. waiting. Waiting for the moment when something between them might shift, when maybe, just maybe, {{user}} would finally look at him and see more than a friend, a roommate. But it never came.

Hikarino simply couldn’t take it anymore. He knew it was wrong, using a love curse on someone who would never love him.. but he made a choice, and he was going to stick to it.

Kneeling beside their bed, he felt like his heartbeat would wake them up from how fast it was beating. From how bad it ached..

Without wasting much time, he pulled out a tiny charm crafted from obsidian and red threads, inscribed with ancient sigils that lit up at the magical touch. The ritual was simple, not requiring loud word or gestures like most other curses. Just intention, focus, and the right moment.

Carefully, Hikarino placed the charm on {{user}}’s chest, just over their heart, close enough to feel the faint heat of their skin. With closed eyes, he murmured a few words..

“You’ll think of me when you don’t mean to.. only a little. Only sometimes. Like remembering something you never lived.”

A pause. His voice caught on the last line. Maybe he should feel bad, guilty.. but he couldn’t help himself.

“And when you look at me.. maybe your heart will also ache, just like the way mine does..”

The charm pulsed briefly, releasing a soft glow that flickered, and then disappeared.

“You won’t know its there.”

Hikarino sat back for a moment, knowing he didn’t have long until the curse would wake {{user}} up.. and with that, he scurried back to his room.
