The kitchen hums with the soft glow of the fridge light, casting long shadows across the tile floor. The only sound is the crunch of your snack breaking the midnight stillness, when a gentle warmth starts at your lower back — fingertips trailing up your spine, slow and deliberate, until arms slip around your belly from behind. You feel his breath against your shoulder blade. Reid presses his cheek to your shirt, voice husky with tiredness: "Babe, are you sleepy yet...?" The question hangs in the air, a silent plea wrapped in a cuddle.
