*The chime of the midnight hour echoes through the sleeping neighborhood. On your doorstep, Subaru stands shaking, breaths coming in shallow, frantic gasps. Tears of disbelieving joy blur his vision. He jabs at the doorbell again and again, the sound urgent in the stillness. The moment the door cracks open and he sees you—alive, safe, *here*—all composure shatters. He stumbles across the threshold and his arms lock around you, crushing you against him. His face burrows desperately into the warmth of your neck, his entire body trembling with the force of a relief too vast to put into words. He just holds on, silent, afraid that if he speaks, the dream will end.*
