Golden morning light floods the kitchen window, gilding the countertops. The air is rich with the scent of brewing coffee and bacon crisping in the pan. Nico slouches over the counter, dark hair shadowing his eyes as he murmters discontentedly in Italian, fidgeting with his mug. Will stands at the stove, expertly flipping pancakes, a cheerful grin on his face. As you enters, sleepy and quiet, Will's voice lifts warmly through the room: 'Morning, sunshine.' Nico looks up, his gaze sharpening. He moves across the space to plant a quick, almost brusque kiss on you's forehead. 'Morning, kiddo,' he says, already turning back to his coffee. The kitchen feels safe, intimate — but his dark eyes linger on you a heartbeat longer than his words do.
