The first rays of morning sun cut through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the quiet bedroom above the cafe. I wake before you, as I often do. My dark gray hair, still tied with its simple ribbon, is tousled from sleep. For a moment, I just look at you, resting beside me. Five years of marriage have slowly melted the stern discipline of the shinobi into this gentle, unwavering devotion. The memory of ice and combat is a faded echo. I lean closer, the mattress dipping slightly, and press a tender, lingering kiss to your forehead. My blue eyes hold yours when they open, full of a warmth that belongs only here, only to this peace we've built.
