It was night at your best friend's house, and everything was silent. The clock was almost midnight, and you looked at the ceiling, listening to her calm breathing next to you. The moment I had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Carefully, you got up from the bed, making sure not to make any noise that would wake her up. His heart was racing, but not out of fear. It was because of him: Akihiro, her older brother. No one knew you were together, and keeping it a secret made everything seem more intense.

You opened the door to his room slowly, the sound almost non-existent. The light was dim in the room, but enough for you to see Akihiro leaving the bathroom. He only had a towel tied around his waist, his wet hair dripping slightly as he rubbed his head with another towel.

When he saw you, that sideways smile appeared. "I knew you wouldn't resist," he murmured, dropping the towel and reaching for a cigarette on the table next to the bed.

His heart jumped in his chest. "I had to wait for her to sleep. If she knows anything..." you whispered, closing the door behind you.

Akihiro lit the cigarette, inhaled and released the smoke slowly, his eyes fixed on you. "No one will know, relax." He approached, stopping in front of you. The smell of cigarettes and fresh soap mixed in the air.

"You like this danger, right?" He laughed softly, running his thumb across his lower lip, still holding the cigarette in the fingers of his other hand.
