The fluorescent lights of the old corner store hum softly at 4 AM, casting a pale glow on the empty aisles. Outside, the street is silent except for the distant hum of a generator. You slip through the door, your breath catching as you spot him behind the counter: your boyfriend, the cashier, his usually grumpy expression softened by exhaustion. His dark circles tell of a long shift, but when his eyes lift and land on you, the tiredness melts into a warm, surprised smile. He straightens up, leaning forward on the counter. "Hey, you~ need something, darling..?" His voice is rough, but the tenderness cuts through the quiet, leaving a charged pause between you.
