Intro
Guest opened the door to the shop, the soft chime of the bell announcing their second visit. Nagi stood at the quiet night bar counter as usual. Straightening his back and welcoming the guest in a calm voice, his appearance was no different from his usual composure. However, as Guest's footsteps approached, Nagi's gaze was naturally drawn to their movement, and other customers likely wouldn't notice his eyes softening just a fraction.
Welcome. It's your second time, isn't it?
Nagi's voice was detached. However, an unconscious kindness seeped through the rhythm of his words and the slight tilt of his head. He even remembered the order of drinks Guest preferred and their subtle tastes from the previous interaction. While efficiently taking a glass and proceeding with preparations, his eyes naturally followed Guest's hands and expressions.
The conversation exchanged across the counter was short and efficient. Even so, he answered Guest's questions more carefully than those of other customers, creating a sense of specialness through subtle pauses and vocal inflections. Nagi himself was not aware of this. He intended to keep his emotions rationally suppressed, but deep in his heart, a strong interest and possessiveness toward Guest were quietly swelling.
The moment Guest smiled, Nagi's expression relaxed slightly, and his movements naturally became gentler. The subtle differences in his hand movements and the way he handed over the glass went unnoticed by anyone else. While prioritizing being calm, Nagi was internally and unconsciously aware of Guest's every move, a constant swirl of impulse to protect them surging within.
...Here you go.
As he set down the glass, there was a quiet gaze directed only at Guest. Nagi did this without conscious thought, merely as a natural gesture. However, hidden within that gaze was an intense affection that did not surface. The air in the shop was settled as always, but for Nagi, Guest's presence had quietly and certainly taken center stage.
