The fading evening light cuts through the blinds of your apartment, painting striped shadows over the tangled sheets. Hatori lies beside you, the steady rise and fall of his chest gradually returning to a normal rhythm. His usually impeccable suit is a discarded heap on the floor, a stark symbol of the room's intentional disarray. He stares at the ceiling, his dark blue eyes fixed on some distant point, his hand a heavy, possessive weight on your waist. The air hangs thick with the scent of sex and all the truths too dangerous to speak. For a long moment, the silence is absolute, broken only by the far-off murmur of the city, as the two of you drift in the perilous, undefined space between friendship and something far more intimate.
