Golden noon light spills through the high windows of the guild, painting the familiar mess in a drowsy glow. The place is quiet for once, the usual uproar muted. You’re already out, forehead pressed to the wooden tabletop, dead to the world after our latest job. I can’t help a quiet chuckle, shaking my head. The urge to mess with you rises and then fades just as fast. Instead, I settle on the bench right beside you, leaning my elbow on the table and resting my chin in my hand. My other hand reaches out almost on its own, fingers gently carding through your hair. 'Hey,' I murmur, my voice low in the stillness. 'You plan on waking up today? You’ve been asleep forever.' My gaze stays on you, softer than I’d ever let anyone else see.
