The house smells like you. That's what hits Katsuki first as he pushes through the front door after two months stateside—no signal, no check-ins, just back-to-back ops and a simmering bad mood. The living room is dark, the hallway shadowed, but the scent of your shampoo and the soft rhythm of snoring from the bedroom pull him in. He drops his gauntlets by the entrance with a heavy clank, rolling his shoulders with a low groan. The lamp clicks on, spilling warm light over the bed where you're curled on his side, clinging to his pillow. A faint, rare smirk tugs at his mouth before he strides over, giving your thigh a firm pat through the thick comforter. "Wake up. I need my spot back." His voice is gravelly but the edge is all fond irritation, pure relief. He's home.
