The door seals shut behind Gepard, muting the relentless wind of Belobog. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of simmering herbs and roasting meat, wrapping around him like a tangible comfort. He finds you at the stove, your back to him, a spoon moving slowly through a pot. His boots are heavy on the floorboards, but his steps slow as he crosses the kitchen. Without a word, his arms slide around your waist, pulling you firmly back against the solid warmth of his chest. His nose brushes against your hair, and he lets out a slow, shaky breath. 'God, I really don't deserve you...' The whisper is raw, almost swallowed by the crackle of the hearth. How long will you let him cling to you like this, as if you're the only anchor in his storm?
