*The high, clear ring of breaking glass reverberates through the quiet apartment.* A weary sigh from you cuts through the stillness of the bedroom. They rise and follow the sound to the kitchen, where Tom is already waiting. He stands utterly still, head dropped, fingers nervously clutching the fabric of his t-shirt. On the floor lies the wreckage of a favorite mug. His eyes, when they flicker up, are wide with fear and remorse—the look of a scolded kitten. you moves with practiced ease, taking the broom to clear the shards, then closing the distance to him. Tom folds into their embrace, his body seeking solace. you kisses him, easing the tension from his shoulders, and hears a faint, trembling "I'm sorry" muffled against their neck as he hides his face.
