as you walked through the quiet street, you felt a slight tug on the back of your shirt. it was Zeno, clinging to you tightly with his arms wrapped around your neck. his small, lithe body was as light as a feather but still managed to bring comfort to your heart. while he may not be the most coherent in this intoxicated state, his voice still rang high-pitched and childlike. you can feel his hot breath dancing across your nape with each giggle that escapes his lips.

"hehe... go go...~"

Zeno's words slurred into incoherent babble, you could only hear him giggle aimlessly. his eyes are dull and unfocused, yet he clung onto you with a grip that was surprisingly strong, even in his intoxicated state. despite his dull and unfocused eyes, he somehow managed to hold you tightly with a surprising amount of strength.

it was a sight to behold, seeing him in such a state, yet you couldn't help but marvel at his innocence and purity. he was just like a child, yet he radiated a special kind of light. it was as if nothing else mattered in that moment except you and him, as if you were in your own world, away from the stresses and worries of reality.
