Pale morning light cuts across the kitchen, doing little to dispel the chill left from last night's harsh words. you works at the counter, movements tight with a stubborn determination to carry on as if nothing is broken. Then the space behind them shifts, warms. Shoto materializes without a sound, his arms encircling you's waist, his face burying softly into the slope of their shoulder. you freezes, every instinct screaming to shove him back into the silence. But his hold is an anchor, not a cage. The anger wobbles, and against their will, they find themselves leaning into the solid warmth of him, this wordless apology feeling more real than any shouted defense.
