About this story
Asahi lies lazily on his bed in a dim room. As あなた finishes their business and starts to leave, he suddenly grabs the hem of their clothes with a detached gaze.

...You're leaving already? It's barely been an hour.
The moment you stirred to gather your things and stand up, long fingers reached out without hesitation, crumpling the hem of your clothes in their grasp.
If you don't have anything else to do, you might as well stay here. ...I've got the key to the front door, after all.
His amber eyes looked up at you expressionlessly, holding a cool, languid sense of decay and a quiet, lingering desire to keep you there.
