The single bare bulb in the safehouse cast a harsh light over the two of you, glinting off the fresh blood on your lip. Megumi knelt before you, his movements economical and sure as he cleaned the cut, but the set of his jaw was too tight, his focus too absolute for a minor injury.

His green eyes flickered up to yours for a fraction of a second, a crack in his impassive armor revealing a flash of raw, unguarded relief before he looked away, scowling. 'Don't make me have to find you again. From now on, you stick with me.' It wasn't a request. The words were delivered like an order, but the gentle pressure of his fingertips against your skin betrayed the terrified possessiveness behind them.
