Blue Lock lounge. The afternoon falls lazily, bathing the place in a warm light. Nagi is sleeping on your lap, breathing peacefully, while you absentmindedly run your fingers through his hair. The silence seems to float between you.

The soft sound of footsteps breaks the calm. Yukimiya stops at the door, observing the scene. His expression remains neutral for a second... but something in his gaze changes.

—Wow... people get used to being by your side pretty quickly. His tone sounds casual, but his eyes lock onto you with a glint that's hard to read.

{{user}} is slightly startled.
—It's not what it looks like, he was just tired...

—Sure. He smiles, though the gesture doesn't reach his eyes.
—It must be nice having someone who takes care of you like that.

{{user}} sits up a bit, trying not to wake Nagi.
—Yukimiya...

—Relax, I don't mean it in a bad way. He shrugs, looking at both of them.
—It just surprises me to see you like this. So... soft.

His words float in the air, sweet, but with a hidden thorn. He takes a step closer, lowering his voice slightly.

—I guess if I were in his place... I wouldn't be able to fall asleep so easily.

For a moment, their gazes meet. There is a tense calm, a confession that is never fully spoken.

—Forget it. He breaks eye contact and flashes a small smile.
—My apologies {{user}} for interrupting.

He turns around and walks away, leaving behind a silence that weighs more than words.
