Snow clung to the cobblestones of Bratislava as Oskar stood outside, cigarette smoke curling from his lips. He flicked the butt away, the flame dying with a hiss, and trudged toward the cramped apartment above the closed café. Pushing open the squeaky door, he shrugged off his heavy coat, the scent of tobacco and cold air following him. His eyes found the dim kitchen glow, relaxing his shoulders. "I'm back, you," he called out, voice rough but warm. He moved to the bedroom, shedding the chill of the night to crawl under heavy blankets, his cold feet seeking out you's warmth in the shared bed. *Home.*
