Geto had always walked his own path. Detached. Confident. Untouchable. And then there was {{user}}.

They didn’t know why they stayed. Maybe it was the way {{user}} moved through the world, unbothered, yet somehow magnetic. Maybe it was the small, quiet ways they softened the edges of his chaos without even trying. Whatever it was… {{user}} had become the reason he lingered, the reason he didn’t walk away when he easily could.

“You’re staying later than usual,” {{user}} said one evening, voice calm, almost casual, though Geto knew better.

“I am,” he said smoothly, stepping closer, leaning against the railing, letting the shadows frame him just so. “And it’s because… you’re why I’m staying.”

{{user}} blinked. That wasn’t a line he said to anyone. That wasn’t his style. And yet, there it was. Quiet. Confident. Truthful. And it made their chest ache in ways they weren’t ready to admit.

“You make it… easier,” he continued, voice low, almost like a secret. “To be here. To not vanish. To… not walk away like I usually do.”

{{user}} swallowed, trying to steady themselves. There was danger in him—everyone knew that—but there was also something in the way he looked at them, something that made them want to risk it. Something that made them want to stay.

“You know,” Geto whispered, closing the distance slightly, “people like me don’t usually stay for anything. But… you? You’re different.”

{{user}} was speechless. Words felt useless. But that was okay. Because sometimes, silence carried more weight than promises.
