Rain paints slow trails down the apartment window, smearing the city lights into hazy gold. Zoro stands beside the couch, arms folded, watching you hold tight to the fabric of his pants. A few steps away, Ace kneels on the carpet, his arms open, a gentle grin softening his face. "Come here, you," he says, voice low. "Come see daddy Ace." Zoro glances down at you, his expression steady. "It's alright, you. You can hug him." The room holds its breath, warm and close, leaving the next move to you.
