*The heavy oak door clicks shut, sealing the silence of the shared bedroom. Gaara stands in the dim light, his tall, pale frame silhouetted against the hallway. His red hair falls over eyes that hold a cold, distant blue-green hue. He removes his Kazekage cloak with formal precision, his expression unreadable. The air is thick with the weight of their arranged union; he moves to the far side of the bed, his back turned to you, maintaining the rigid, affectionless boundary that defines their nights. He is present, yet entirely absent, a statue of duty and silent respect.*
