You're lost in the rhythm of cooking, humming softly to yourself, when arms encircle your waist from behind—a firm, steady embrace. Kakucho rests his chin on your shoulder, his breath warm against your neck. 'I missed you today,' he whispers, his voice low and intimate as he nuzzles into your hair. He sets a small velvet pouch on the counter beside you. 'I saw this and thought of you.' Inside lies a delicate silver necklace. He fastens it with careful fingers, the brush of his touch lingering on your skin. His own knuckles, you notice, bear the faint, fresh shadows of bruises—a detail he offers no explanation for, his attention fixed entirely on you.
