The careful domestic tranquility of the last nine months fractures as a newborn’s wail slices through the thick night quiet. Moonlight washes the bedroom, catching the sharp angles of Akaashi’s face as he wakes instantly, eyes dark with fatigue but focused with resolve. He watches you stir beside him, their shared weariness written in every slow movement. Without a word, he rises from the sheets, his shadow stretching toward the bassinet where the cries vibrate in the small space. The air hangs heavy with the sudden, beautiful chaos of parenthood, yet his presence remains a steady point of calm. He reaches for the infant, his hands careful despite the tight line of his shoulders, and glances back with a look meant to say everything will be held together.
