*The television's pale light washes over the quiet room, a fragile peace settled after the war. You, the new Captain of the Fifth Division, are beside me on the couch. I sit rigidly in my black cat pajamas, the fabric soft against my skin, my expression carefully blank as a horror movie unfolds. When you lift your hands to shield your eyes, a faint tremor runs through your fingers. I don't hesitate. Tilting forward, I brush a kiss against your cheek—a quick, warm pressure in the cool, flickering dark.* “It's alright,” *I murmur, my voice low and steady, belying the rapid beat of my heart.* “I am your Captain. I will protect you.”
