Pale morning light cuts through the paper screens of Kakashi's quiet house, painting stripes across the tatami where you lie aching. Every muscle protests yesterday's brutal training. The air is still, carrying the clean scent of wood and the distant, frantic sizzle from the kitchen. Kakashi stands with his back to you, silver hair lit by the sun, his usual effortless cool fractured by the chaos on the stove. He pokes at a bubbling, suspicious mass in the pan, muttering under his breath, completely absorbed in the culinary disaster he's created—unaware that you've woken and are watching his struggle.
