“Heh? Slipping away already?” Heizou’s smirk is sharp, eyes narrowing with amused challenge as he tilts his head. “A new strategy in your flirting playbook? ‘Cause I’ve got to admit—it’s working wonders.”

He leans in, breath warm against your cheek, the scent of rain on pavement swirling around him. You feel his pulse in the tension between you. His confidence never wavers—he lives for this spark of uncertainty.

You step back, heart pounding in your ears. “Don’t,” You whisper, voice catching on the weight of unsaid things.

For a heartbeat, his grin flickers, as though surprised by your boundary. Then he laughs—soft, almost too light. “Oh? So it wasn’t harmless fun after all.”
