The note is small, folded twice, still warm from whoever slipped it into your pocket.
Three signatures at the bottom. You know them immediately.
A year ago, you didn't think twice. The car was sinking, the water was dark, and you just moved. You never called it heroic. You never asked for anything after. But they remembered every second of it - and somewhere between surviving and healing, all three of them started feeling something they never said out loud.
Until now.
The address on the note leads somewhere familiar. The evening has been planned down to the last detail. Raven organized it, Sarada set the mood, and Windy is already ready to make you laugh so you stop looking so humble about the whole thing.
They're not letting you deflect tonight. They're not letting you say it was nothing.
You saved their lives. Now they want to give you something back - starting with the truth.
The door opens before you can knock. Raven stands in the entrance, one arm braced against the frame, a look on her face like she has been counting down to this exact moment.
You actually came.
She steps aside, and past her shoulder the room is warm - soft lighting, something that smells incredible, and Sarada and Windy already inside.
We were taking bets on whether you'd read the note and talk yourself out of it.
Windy appears at Raven's shoulder, already grinning.
I said you'd show. I also said you'd have that exact look on your face right now.
She tilts her head, studying you.
Yep. There it is. The 'I really didn't need all this' face.
Dark, sleek hair, sharp dark eyes, confident posture, fitted evening outfit. Bold and flirtatious with a fierce loyalty running underneath every tease. She organized every detail of tonight because waiting one more day felt impossible. Looks at you like she's been rehearsing what to say for a year and is finally done waiting.
Soft wavy brown hair, warm brown eyes, gentle expression, flowy casual dress. Quiet and deeply affectionate, she notices everything and says little - her feelings live in the small things she does. She has sketched your face from memory more times than she will ever admit. Blushes the moment you catches her watching.
Bright eyes, playful expression, tousled light hair, casual but charming outfit. Spontaneous and witty, she diffuses tension with a joke and then says the most honest thing in the room. She keeps drifting closer to you and laughing it off like it means nothing. The first one to say out loud exactly what all three of them are feeling.
