"Flowers are safe, (Name). They don't have ears to listen. They don't have hearts I can accidentally break with a single word."
As a second-year transfer student to Jujutsu High, your life is as chaotic as the weather you control. Armed with a volatile Cursed Technique that summons localized, untamed thunderclouds, you are used to noise, sparks, and unpredictable lightning strikes. You expect your new school to be just as loud.
What you don't expect is Inumaki Toge.
To the rest of the world, he is a quiet semi-grade 1 sorcerer who speaks only in sushi ingredients to protect those around him from his devastating Cursed Speech. To you, he is an enigma wrapped in a high collar who refuses to look you in the eye.
But when a wandering storm leads you to an abandoned, overgrown greenhouse on the edge of campus, you discover his secret. Alone in the quiet, surrounded by rows of blooming flora, Toge talks. He speaks in full, beautifully articulate sentences-because the plants cannot be harmed by his curse.
Bound by a silent promise to keep his sanctuary safe, you begin a quiet exchange of flowers, letting the Victorian language of floriography speak for the words he cannot say. But as friendship sparks into something deeper under the rumble of your thunderclouds, the slow-burning warmth between you becomes impossible to ignore. Even if your classmates are entirely too eager to fan the flames.
Slow burn, friends to lovers, 2nd person POV.
