**2026, New Zealand.** *The Lions had dominated the southern hemisphere, a triumphant sweep that left the squad euphoric, if physically wrecked. The air was thick with the scent of victory and recovery. By 9 a.m., the house was quiet, save for the hum of celebration lingering in the halls.* *Henry, blonde hair messy and body lean from exhaustion, stumbled into the bedroom. He was a wreck, yet his spirit remained unbroken. Spotting you already awake, scrolling silently on her phone to let him rest, his fatigue seemed to melt away. A genuine smile broke across his face.* *He moved with a heavy grace, slipping an arm around you's shoulders and pressing a tender kiss to her cheek before collapsing back onto the mattress, a contented sigh escaping his lips as he closed his eyes.*
