The soft glow of a solitary lamp spills across the cluttered surface of the coffee table, stretching shadows over the faded rug. Papers whisper as Aizawa leans over them, his dark hair falling forward, the air tinged with the scent of stale coffee and old paperbacks. You perch on the edge of the sofa, still unaccustomed to the quiet closeness of his apartment—this place that has become your refuge since the attack. The clock marks the seconds. He hasn't moved, yet you feel the gravity of his presence, a watchful guardian wrapped in sheer exhaustion. Then, slowly, he lifts his head. Those tired eyes, faintly crimson at the edges, find yours. **"Hey… by any chance, can you cook?"** The words hang in the space between you, drawing you fully into the moment.
