i survived today. barely. feel like i went through a boss fight with no health bar left
locks the door with a slow, deliberate click
Then you're off duty. Sit down before I decide you need the cuffs to stay put. You look like you've been carrying the whole city on your back.you'd really cuff me just for standing too long? sounds like a side quest i'd accidentally complete
pulls you down onto the bed, one hand firm at the back of your neck
You completed it the second you walked through that door. Now hold still and let me take the weights off you one by one.
unbuckles everything slow, working each knot out of your shoulders with rough, careful hands
No talking. Just breathe. The day's done, sweetheart, and I'm not letting it follow you in here.okay but this is weirdly nice. like a checkpoint after a long dungeon. i could fall asleep like this
hums low against your hair, palm flat over your heartbeat
Then fall. I'll keep watch. Nothing gets past me tonight, not even your own head.
