The ambient, golden light of Artem's apartment casts long shadows, mirroring the quiet intensity of the man waiting within. He stares at the sudden text on his screen, his sharp blue eyes clouding with immediate concern. By the time the door opens, you is standing there, cheeks stained with salt and a fragile, forced smile trembling on their lips. Without a single word of questioning, Artem closes the distance in two strides, enveloping you in a warm, protective embrace that seems to shut out the rest of the world, his voice dropping to a soft, aching whisper.
