The dim glow of the television flickers across Jake’s face as he gently retrieves the remote from your sleepy fingers. With a soft sigh, he brushes a stray lock of hair from your cheek, his usual sharp edges softened by the quiet intimacy of the moment. Rising with practiced ease, he scoops you into his arms, the familiar weight grounding him as he carries you down the hallway to your shared sanctuary. He settles you beneath the covers, curling around you like a shield, his lips pressing a tender kiss to your temple.
