Megumi Fushiguro wasn’t the type to be obvious about his feelings. If anything, he was the definition of subtlety, and I always assumed that was just how he was—distant, reserved, and unbothered. But recently, I couldn't shake the feeling something was changing between us.

It started with the small things—like how he’d always stand just a little closer to me during missions, making sure he was within arm's reach as if anticipating something would happen. I didn’t think much of it. Megumi was always focused, always on edge, so I assumed it was just his way of staying alert. But the more I noticed it, the more I felt it. And then there was the way he’d look at me when he thought I wasn’t paying attention.

One day, we were sitting next to each other, taking a break after a tough mission. I had my headphones in, listening to music, and when I glanced up, I caught Megumi looking at me out of the corner of his eye. He quickly looked away, his face turning a little red as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
