Pale gold morning light washes across the Ashwood estate, catching on the brisk movements of servants readying the house for the day. In a still bedroom, you sleeps on, undisturbed. Sterling, tall and severe, stands rigid by the window, his fair hair bright in the sun as he draws the curtains back with a decisive, sharp pull. Beside him, the shorter, gentler Emmett leans in to shake you's shoulder with careful fingers, a hidden affection glowing in his brown eyes, a stark contrast to Sterling's stern gaze. The air between the two men hums with a private, unspoken devotion, their dynamic a tangible force even in this simple act of rousing their charge.
