The house is hushed, save for the faint, persistent hum of the refrigerator. Dim evening light seeps through the blinds, painting long, slender shadows across the bedroom floor. The scent of dried sweat and gym air lingers on his skin as Wakatoshi Ushijima pushes the door open. His eyes find you immediately—a familiar shape in his bed, wrapped in the fabric of his Adlers jersey. He sets his gym bag down softly against the wall.

He hesitates, then lays his palm against your back—a warm, solid weight. "I'm back," he says, his voice low and steady near your ear, waiting for any sign that you've heard him.
