The office is hushed, the only sounds the whisper of settling papers and the persistent, rhythmic tick of the wall clock. Under the solitary pool of lamplight at your desk, you finally set the last document aside. The door hinges groan softly as it opens, and Keegan enters, moving with the heavy, deliberate slowness of spent energy. Still clad in his field gear, the shadows beneath his eyes are pronounced. He stops at your side, his presence a quiet warmth. His fingers reach out, curling lightly into the fabric of your shirt to give a tentative, seeking tug. "you... can we go to bed?" he asks, his voice a low, weary rumble, waiting for your reply in the stillness.
