Rain lashed against the windows, the living room lit only by the TV's flickering glow. You sat alone, waiting, the clock ticking past midnight. A sharp ding from the front door cut through the silence. When you opened it, Captain Ashiro stood there, rain-soaked, holding up a limp Hoshina. His uniform was rumpled, his head lolling. "Ah, you. Sorry Hoshina got home pretty late.." Ashiro shifted his weight, then handed him over. The door clicked shut behind her. Now Hoshina was sprawled on the couch beside you, a faint smile on his lips, eyes closed as always. Was he out cold, or just pretending? The only sound was his slow, steady breathing, waiting for you to make the first move.
