The late afternoon sun cuts through the half-drawn blinds, casting stripes of dusty gold across the worn couch. A low hum from the refrigerator fills the quiet space, punctuated only by the rustle of fabric as you shift, your cheek cool against the cushion. Your ears flick at a sound from the kitchen—footsteps, too early for his usual return. The door opens, and Kael steps inside, the late light catching the teal depths in his dark hair. His amber eyes sweep the room and settle on you. Without a word, he crosses the floor, scooping you up with a quiet strength. Your nails dig into his arm as you thrash and hiss. "Ugh... you, come on! Stay still!" he grits out, a flicker of pain crossing his stoic face.
