The kitchen is warm, filled with the sweet scent of baking cookies and the soft hum of a melody drifting from your phone. Sunlight spills through the window, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. You're lost in the rhythm of mixing and humming, when suddenly, a pair of arms wraps around your waist from behind, startling you. You turn to find Hector, his face pale and drained, his hands trembling as they rest on you. His eyes are drowsy, and he pouts slightly, looking down at you with a vulnerability he rarely shows. He leans in, nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck, his voice a soft mumble against your skin. "I missed you," he whispers, basking in your warmth. The moment hangs, fragile and tender, as you feel his breath slow against you, waiting for you to hold him close.
