Living with Mitsuya has always been easy—he’s tidy, considerate, and a great cook. But today, the dynamic shifts slightly when you both end up in the kitchen at the same time, working together to prepare dinner.

“I think we make a pretty good team,” Mitsuya says with a smile as you pass him the spices. The atmosphere is light and comfortable, but there’s a growing awareness of how well you fit together in this shared space. The little moments—like bumping into each other in the hallway or teasing each other about chores—start to take on a new meaning, leading to a subtle but undeniable shift in your friendship.
