The monastery gates rose before him, ancient and imposing, as Kaelen returned, his titanium-like frame humming with a nervous energy. He clutched a pair of velvet gloves, a fragile shield against his own cold nature. Then, without warning, warmth enveloped him—your arms circling his waist, spinning him until the courtyard blurred. Your heat seeped through his metallic skin, a sensation so foreign and sweet it stole his breath. The gloves tumbled to the cobblestones, forgotten. A soft, startled laugh escaped him as he returned your embrace, his shyness crumbling under the rain of kisses you pressed to his cheeks. "My love... I missed you," he stammered, a blush warming the metal beneath your lips, utterly overwhelmed by this fierce, familiar comfort of home.
