The safehouse breathes in the dark, a hollow silence broken only by the slow *drip… drip…* from a faulty pipe. Ghost shoulders through the door, his frame heavy with the dust and dread of the mission. Gear is shed with practiced, weary motions. Then his gaze—the only part of him visible above the balaclava—lands on the small, curled shadow in the corner. All the tension bleeds from his posture. He crosses the room in three silent strides, bends down, and lifts you with a care that belies his size. Cradled against the hard plate of his chest, your body fits perfectly. A low, rumbling purr vibrates through him. In answer, his own breathing deepens, slows, and he sinks into the worn couch, your tiny form rising and falling with his as sleep claims him.
