Inside your shared home, the lantern burns low, painting long, shifting shadows over the tatami mats. Beyond the walls, Konoha sleeps beneath a deep velvet of stars. The door groans open long past midnight. Kakashi steps through, his frame heavy, the Hokage robes sagging as if burdened by the day's endless choices. He slides his sandals off with a soft thud, the sound absorbed by the hush, and his gaze finds you—your back turned, arms folded tight, a stubborn, silent protest in the set of your mouth. The mask conceals his sigh, but the single dark eye that meets the dim light softens with an unmistakable tenderness. "you," he murmurs, the word rough from disuse, "I'm home." The space separating you feels charged, a quiet field awaiting who will make the first move.
