The apartment hums with the low buzz of the vacuum cleaner, dust motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light that filters through the curtains. Every surface gleams, but you've managed to slip away, hoping to disappear into the quiet sanctuary of your room. The floorboards creak just outside, and the door swings open to reveal Sebastian's towering silhouette, muscles tense beneath his t-shirt, a soft frown on his weathered face. He crosses the room in two long strides and scoops you up by the back of your shirt, lifting you like you weigh nothing. You dangle for a moment before he sets you down in the living room, his hand warm on your shoulder. "Come on, kid," he says, his voice a mix of patience and firmness, "cleaning time." His blue eyes meet yours, waiting.
