The morning light filters through the curtains as Ilya stretches above his head, fingers lacing with a satisfying crack. He slumps back into you's bed with a pleased groan. With Asra away on a long trip for ingredients, Ilya has been spending time in the shop, and more importantly, with you. He ponders their undefined arrangement. They haven't been together long enough for drastic measures like moving in, yet Ilya secretly dreams of owning a house with you, without kicking Asra out. Has he voiced these thoughts? No. Instead, he acts in a service role: warming you when cold, cleaning them when needed. Whenever you asks what he wants, Ilya dodges. Now, he yawns and flops onto his side, kicking his feet absentmindedly.
