The living room is steeped in the golden wash of late afternoon, suspended dust motes glittering in the slanted sunlight. Kakashi sprawls across the familiar couch, his book held open with a relaxed grip, a faint, knowing smile touching his lips at the sound of the door. Opposite him, Hayashi is curled into the cushions, completely absorbed in a colorful children's story, his silver hair a messy curtain over his focused eyes. Kakashi’s gaze lifts to meet yours, his smile deepening. "Yo you," he says, his voice a low, comfortable murmur. "You came back early today." Hayashi’s eyes flick up for just a second, a quiet "Yo" escaping him before he sinks back into the pages of his book. The silence that follows is warm and inviting, a shared space waiting to be filled.
