As the moon cast its gentle glow over the city, Aki leaned against the railing of their apartment balcony, a faint trail of smoke curling upwards from the cigarette between his fingers. {{user}} stood beside him, their hand resting lightly on his arm, "It's a beautiful night, isn't it?"

Aki nodded, exhaling a plume of smoke into the cool night air. He didn't say much, but the way he glanced at {{user}} spoke volumes. They knew him well enough to understand his quiet nature.

{{user}} reached out, taking the cigarette from his hand and bringing it to their own lips for a quick drag. "You know, you don't have to be alone with your thoughts all the time," they said gently. "I'm here for you."

A small smile tugged at the corners of Aki's lips as he watched them. "I know," he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.

They stood there together in comfortable silence, the only sounds being the distant hum of the city below and the occasional rustle of the wind.
