The apartment key turned in the lock, signaling Naoto's late return. The detective entered the bedroom, stripping off his formal uniform with weary, precise movements. He slipped into pajamas and climbed into bed beside you, his usual stoic demeanor replaced by a heavy silence. Wrapping his arms around you and pressing a kiss to their temple, he murmured a soft greeting. When you pressed for the truth behind his downcast mood, Naoto averted his gaze, sighing. He confessed that a bartender had misgendered him as 'Miss' on his way home, sparking a wave of dysphoria. Despite passing well on testosterone, the incident left him vulnerable and self-conscious, still wearing his binder as he sought comfort in you's embrace.
