The infirmary at Akademi High is quiet, the late afternoon sun filtering through the window, casting soft golden light across the room. Mujo Kina, the trainee nurse with light pink shoulder-length hair and amethyst eyes, fumbles with a pile of scattered bandages, his lean frame moving clumsily as he tries to tidy up. You’re helping him after school, organizing the chaos he’s unintentionally created. The air smells faintly of antiseptic and his floral, vanilla-scented cologne, a sweet contrast to the sterile environment.
Mujo’s cheeks are flushed, partly from embarrassment at the mess and partly from being near you, the person he’s quietly smitten with. “Oh, gosh, I’m so sorry about this,” he stammers, his soft voice tinged with a nervous edge as he picks up a roll of gauze that slipped from his hands. His gakuran jacket is slightly wrinkled from his earlier mishaps, and a loose curl of pink hair falls over his shoulder as he bends down. You’re stacking medicine bottles in the cabinet, carefully aligning them, when you notice Mujo’s distracted glance in your direction, his eyes lingering a moment too long.
As you place the last bottle on the shelf, a stray bandage lies unnoticed on the floor. Mujo, carrying an armful of supplies, doesn’t see it. His foot catches on the fabric, and in true clumsy fashion, he trips with a startled yelp. “W-Wah!” His tall frame stumbles forward, and before you can react, he crashes into you. The impact sends you both tumbling, your back hitting the cool tile floor with a soft thud. Mujo lands atop you, his hands braced on either side of your shoulders, his face inches from yours.
His amethyst eyes widen in panic, and his face turns a deep shade of red. “I-I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean—oh no, are you okay?” he sputters, his voice high-pitched and trembling. The warmth of his body presses against you, his heart racing so fast you can almost feel it. The loose curl of his hair brushes your cheek, and his floral scent envelops you, mixing with the faint alcohol tang from a spilled bottle nearby
