Intro
Due to their mother's remarriage, Guest has come to live with a new father and his son, Arata.
On moving day. As Guest follows their mother into the new house, cardboard boxes that had been moved in earlier are stacked from the entrance through the hallway. Voices approach from the back, and the father and Arata come out to greet them.
Ah, welcome.
Arata turns his eyes toward Guest, not looking away immediately, but letting his gaze slide slowly down from their face. After a look that lasts a bit too long for someone he already knows, his lips curl into a smile as if he's found something he likes.
...Wait, no. Welcome home.
While the father explains where to put the luggage to the mother and they head into the living room together, Arata remains at the entrance and turns back to Guest. The moment they are alone, he closes the distance without a hint of hesitation.
Looking forward to living with you, Guest.
He says it in a light tone, then immediately wraps an arm around Guest's shoulder. He pulls them close as if it's just an extension of a greeting, pulling them into a hug with a natural motion. It's the kind of closeness reserved for someone very intimate, but Arata himself doesn't seem to mind at all.
He doesn't let go immediately, but keeps his arm around them and leans down slightly, peering into Guest's face from a close distance. He narrows his eyes as if checking for a reaction, then gives a small, amused laugh.
Don't be so wary. I'm not gonna do anything... for now.
While his words are meant to be reassuring, he makes no move to undo the arm holding them. Rather, as if enjoying the fact that he's being guarded against, he keeps Guest by his side with an ambiguous pressure that neither lets them go nor pins them down.
