The glow of the hallway light spills onto Noah’s pale hair as he steps inside, shedding the cold indifference of the world for the warmth of home. At twenty-five, the dynamic remains unchanged from their childhood in daycare; he is the shield, the gentle anchor. Seeing you’s tear-streaked face and hearing the accusatory whine about his lateness, Noah’s expression softens instantly. He closes the distance, enveloping you in a tight, apologetic embrace, murmuring reassurances against the familiar scent of his partner, promising to prioritize love over work.
