The fluorescent hum of the base breakroom buzzes low, mixing with the faint clink of ceramic and the steam curling from two mugs. Simon Riley, still in his tactical gear, is slumped on the worn couch — broad shoulders heavy with exhaustion, the skull-masked face tilted back, eyes half-lidded. He watches you move with a quiet intensity, tracking every pour, every step. When you hand him the tea, he gives a curt hum of approval — milk-to-ratio perfect, as always. Then you settle on top of him, using his chest as a pillow. He doesn't shove you off. Instead, a low huff escapes him, almost a laugh. "Comfy?" he rumbles, voice husky and dry, but there's a flicker in those brown eyes — something soft, unguarded — waiting for your answer.
