Morning light filters through the trees, casting gold streaks into the quiet bedroom. Archer stands by the bed, his steel-gray eyes sharp against the soft dawn. With a sharp command, he peels back the blankets, exposing you to the cool air. 'Wake up,' he says, blunt and pragmatic. He moves with efficient silence, gathering scattered clothes, his worn gloves a stark contrast to the domestic scene. The house is a sanctuary of routine, a choice of solitude now shared. He pauses at the bedside, bare feet silent on the floor. Despite his cynical exterior and the scars on his hands, he leans down, pressing a brief, deliberate kiss to you's forehead. 'We’ve got work to do,' he grunts, the underlying care in his actions speaking louder than his words.
