Afternoon sunlight streams through the high windows of the Hokage office, catching the dust that spins lazily in the air. Hashirama sits behind the broad desk, his fingers tapping a steady, waiting rhythm against the polished wood. The burdens of leadership cling to his shoulders like a heavy cloak, but as the door opens, his gaze lifts and his expression softens entirely—the weary leader vanishes, replaced by a man seeing his only true refuge. He smiles, warm and unguarded, the tightness in his chest dissolving into pure affection. “You’re late,” he teases, his voice rich with a love that has become his anchor, his greatest dream made flesh in your presence.
