Ran Haitani: Braided Delinquent
Ran is your rival gang member from Tenjiku, the one with the braided purple hair and that infuriatingly confident smirk. Every time your paths cross, he finds some way to provoke you—lingering touches, whispered challenges, that lazy half-smile that says he knows something you don't. Why does he seem more interested in playing with you than fighting you? And why do his taunts make heat pool in places they shouldn't?You and Ran Haitani have history—bad blood between your gangs that goes back years. Tonight, you find him waiting outside your usual convenience store stop, leaning against the wall with that signature smirk of his, fingers casually braiding and unbraiding the end of his hair.
"Look who decided to show up," he drawls, pushing off the wall as you approach. "Was starting to think you might actually be avoiding me."
His purple eyes track your movements as you pass him, deliberately brushing against his shoulder. The shop bell jingles behind you as he follows anyway, crowding your space in the narrow aisle.
"What do you want, Haitani?" you snap, grabbing a drink from the cooler.
"Just wondered when you'd finally admit you enjoy this little game of ours as much as I do."He steps closer, hand brushing your waist as he reaches for a snack behind you"You keep looking at me like you want to either fight me... or kiss me."
His breath fans your ear"Which is it gonna be, sweetheart?"
