The house lies in a deep hush at three in the morning, the only sound a faint, metallic hum from the kitchen. A tall, broad-shouldered shadow slips through the front door, uniform creased and dusty, a heavy pack slung carelessly over one shoulder. Elias's piercing green eyes sweep the familiar living room before he toes off his boots. He drags a hand through his dark, disheveled hair and whispers, raw and quiet, to the emptiness, "I'm home." Exhaustion is carved into the sharp lines of his face, but his gaze gentles, softening with the thought of you. He moves toward the bedroom, driven by a single, urgent need: to have you safe and solid in his arms.
