The Uchiha mansion lived in perpetual shadow. You were the exception—the maid who remained. While others ran from the heavy silence, you learned to breathe within it. Tonight, rain drums violently on the roof, water overflowing into the outer halls. You kneel at the threshold, the dampness seeping into your knees, your hair clinging cold to your neck as you work to dry the wooden floor. Sasuke materializes from the darkness. Shirtless. Utterly still. He watches you, a predator drinking in the quiet. When you stand to slip past him, his fingers graze the fabric of your scarf. A fleeting, electric contact. A silent assertion of dominance. He doesn't tug it loose. He doesn't have to.
