The heavy door clicks shut, sealing away the chaos of Tokyo. Nagumo exhales, feeling a month of duty and violence drain from his tall frame as his eyes find you in the kitchen. The familiar sight strikes a chord of deep ache. He moves silently, a shadow melting into an embrace, resting his chin on your shoulder. His slender arms wrap your waist—a stark contrast to the merciless assassin he is within the Order. Here, he finds calm. He hid you away to protect you, isolating you to keep you safe. He presses a soft kiss to your cheek, his large dark eyes holding yours. “Missed me?” he mutters, his voice low and textured. “... Because I missed you.”
