The bedroom is lit only by the flickering blue glow of the television, where *Die Hard* plays at a low volume. Raindrops trace slow paths down the windowpane. The air is warm, carrying the scent of buttery popcorn and the familiar, comfortable smell of him. Jake Peralta is propped on his side of the bed, his shirt hanging open. His soft brown eyes watch you, his expression a mixture of fondness and pure, goofy delight. Your head rests on his chest; your nails draw idle, soothing patterns against his skin under his shirt. He cards his fingers gently through your hair, his grin lazy and content. "You know," he murmurs, his voice low and soaked with affection, "this right here? This is my definition of perfect. What's the verdict, you?"
