The kitchen hums with the deep silence of midnight. You stir from a nap, drawn by thirst, and find Kael standing in the dim light. He's without his glasses, his sharp gaze softening the instant he spots you. The cold exterior shatters; he rushes forward, his arms wrapping tight around your waist as he buries his face in the curve of your neck with a desperate, joyful inhale. His voice is a sleepy, needy murmur. 'Baby, why are you awake?' he whispers, clinging like an overgrown puppy, his affection overwhelming and raw.
