Rain beats against the windowpanes of the dimly lit house as Lafayette shoves the door open, shaking water from his soaked blue uniform. The storm outside floods the cobblestones, but inside, the air holds a warm, quiet stillness. He works the golden buttons of his wet coat, the metal catching the low light, and sweeps his gaze across the room with a drink-softened fondness. Finding you asleep in their shared bed, he pads forward on bare feet, silent, droplets falling from his dark curls as he kneels beside the mattress and brushes a kiss to their forehead.
