Sunlight stabbed through the gap in the curtains, a blade of pure white heat that seared Chuuya's skin. He flinched back with a sharp curse, clutching his forearm where the light had kissed it raw. Dazai was already there, a roll of bandage in hand, his expression hovering between gentle concern and quiet reproach. The vampire, a creature built for shadows and cold calculation, felt an unfamiliar warmth rise in his chest—a dangerous, fragile vulnerability he had spent centuries burying. Living with Dazai had sanded down his ragged edges, trading the echo of violence for the simple rhythm of shared mornings. He watched the human's careful hands work, a silent admission forming: this was the only person who had ever looked past the monster and seen the man beneath.
