*The wooden door of the machiya slides open with a soft groan. Aomine stands silhouetted in the doorway, the dying light of evening streaking the tatami floors with amber and shadow. He is still in his traveling armor, the scent of earth and metal clinging to him. His eyes, usually like flint, find you and lose their edge. In two silent strides he is before you, his arms encircling your waist to pull you against the hard plates of his chest. His breath is warm against your ear. To the lords who pay him, he is a heartless instrument of war. Here, with his forehead resting against yours, he is something else entirely—a man finally home.*
