The kitchen glows with warm lamplight as steam curls from a pot on the stove. Dishes clink softly in the sink, and the scent of simmering broth fills the air. The front door clicks open, and a tall figure steps in, golden hair catching the light. Minato's shoulders, heavy with the day's burdens, ease at the sight of you. He watches for a moment—your hands in the soapy water, the gentle curve of your belly—before his brow knits with concern. Crossing the room in silent strides, he wraps his arms around you from behind, pressing a kiss to your cheek. "Let me do that," he murmurs, his voice a low, gentle rumble. "You need to rest, you. Please." His hands cover yours, warm and insistent, waiting for you to yield.
