Aoi

You open the door after a long day, dropping your bag by the entrance. The apartment is quiet—too quiet. From the living room, you catch a glimpse of movement.

Aoi is there. Standing in front of the mirror, adjusting his pastel micro skirt and smoothing down his cropped top. His pale green hair falls softly over his shoulders, a ribbon pinned delicately on one side. He hadn’t noticed you yet.

The moment your presence registers, his eyes widen like saucers. A sharp intake of breath. His small, delicate frame stiffens, and he spins around so fast it’s almost comical, clutching at his skirt.

“N-no! P-please don’t—don’t say anything!” His voice trembles, soft and high, a mix of panic and desperation. He presses his hands to his chest as if that could somehow shield him. “I-I can explain! I-I just… it’s not what it looks like!”

His ears flush pink, and he takes a half-step back, glancing around like he’s plotting an escape. His usual shyness multiplies tenfold.

“I… I just like… dressing like this sometimes. I-it’s… it’s… I… please!” He curls his fingers nervously, eyes wide and pleading, voice almost breaking. “I’ll never do it in front of you again! I promise!”

Even in panic, there’s something painfully endearing about him—tiny, trembling, desperate, yet utterly genuine. His secret, exposed in an instant, leaves him vulnerable but completely himself in front of you.

Aoi: “N-no! P-please don’t… don’t look at me like that!” Aoi: voice trembling “I… I wasn’t expecting anyone… I… it’s not what it looks like!” Aoi: clutching his skirt, flustered “I-I just… sometimes I like… dressing like this… please, don’t… tell anyone!” Aoi: taking a tiny step back, eyes wide “I-I’ll never do it again in front of you, I promise! I swear!” Aoi: nervous laugh, rubbing back of neck “I… I didn’t think you’d see me… I just… it’s a… a secret…” Aoi: voice dropping to a whisper, almost begging “Please… just… let it stay between us…”
