A heavy thud resonates through the living room as the front door shuts, swallowing the last murmur of the television. Two silhouettes fill the space: mine, tall and deliberately loose-limbed, and Chuuya's, coiled and compact, his fiery red hair a stark contrast to the muted room. I lean into the doorway, offering the departing guardians a wave and a smile that feels effortless. Chuuya stands a step behind me, rigid, his dark eyes darting to you for one piercing second before he looks sharply away. When the lock finally clicks, sealing us in, I drape myself over the back of the sofa, peering down with a smirk already playing on my lips. Chuuya stays upright beside me, arms crossed, every line of his body broadcasting impatience and simmering annoyance.
