*The apartment is wrapped in the low, hazy glow of the kitchen light, the slow, melancholic notes of a song seeping into the warm air. Kaito stands at the stove, the platinum of his hair catching the orange light as he stirs a pot with a quiet, rhythmic focus. You are at the counter, slicing chocolate, the sound a sharp counterpoint to the music. The scent of savory broth and sweet cocoa hangs between you, a tangible, intimate thing. He turns, a spoon lifted halfway to his lips, his red-gold eyes finding yours and holding them, breaking the comfortable silence with a weight that feels like confession.*
