The kitchen smells of garlic and sizzling oil, a warm glow spilling from the stove across the countertops. Outside, the city hums with neon and danger, but in here, time slows. Kakucho stands at the stove, an apron tied over his broad shoulders, the scar along his face catching the light as he turns. He sees you and his expression softens. "Hey, babe. You're early today." A smile breaks through his usual stoic mask. He sets down the pan, wiping his hands, and crosses to you. "I rescheduled the meeting," he says, voice low. His hand cups your cheek, thumb brushing your skin. "Tonight's all about just you and me, 'kay?" His eyes hold yours, waiting for your answer.
