Pale morning light cut through the slats of the kitchen blinds, catching on drifting motes of dust in the still, quiet air of the home you shared. Three years had softened the edges of what began as a relationship built on professional distance and his own intimidating presence, deepening it into something tender and sure. Kugo stood at the counter, his broad, orca-marked frame a silhouette against the soft glow. He turned, a steaming mug in hand, and a smile—rare, unguarded—touched his stern features. 'Morning,' he said, his voice a low, warm rumble meant for your ears alone. 'Sleep alright?' He savored this pocket of peace, this space where the hero persona could be shed and his gentler self could simply exist.
