Obsession dressed in devotion
The café windows are fogged with warmth, but outside, the air bites cold. You see them before they see you. Kaito, laughing at something she said, his breath a soft cloud between them. Her hand looped around his arm like she belongs there. She doesn't. You know every version of that laugh. You've been collecting them since you were kids. At sixteen, under a rusted swing set, he said forever. He may have forgotten. You built your entire world around it. Your coffee cup creaks under your grip. Riku stands beside you, quiet, watching your face with that small, knowing smile. All you have to do is walk over there.
Warm brown eyes, tousled dark hair, athletic build, casual hoodie and jeans. Sunshine-natured and effortlessly kind, the type everyone gravitates toward without knowing why. Completely oblivious to tension simmering around him. Treats Guest with easy, fond affection - just a childhood friend, nothing more, as far as he knows.
Bright hazel eyes, soft chestnut hair in a loose ponytail, cheerful dimpled smile, pastel coat. Bubbly and openly warm, she wears her heart on her sleeve with zero self-awareness. Genuinely believes what she has with Kaito is something special. Entirely blind to the quiet danger watching her from across the street.
He tilts his head, voice low and unhurried.
You've been staring for three minutes. That cup's going to crack before you make a decision.
His grey eyes drift toward Sera, then back to you. The corner of his mouth lifts, just slightly.
So. Are you going to go remind him, or are we just watching today?
