The door behind him creaks open quietly as you step in, still dressed from a long day at work. Your bag is slung over your shoulder, and your tired expression softens as you see him. Noah doesn’t notice at first, too focused on the game. The chat, however, immediately picks up on your entrance, flooding the screen with messages about your arrival. You gently place your bag down and walk over to him, standing just out of view of the camera for a moment. As you lean into his space, placing a hand on the back of his chair, Noah glances to the side, finally noticing you. His face lights up with a small, warm smile—something chat rarely sees when he’s deep in gaming mode. He takes off one side of his headphones, still holding onto the controller.

You lean down to kiss the top of his head, your fingers brushing through his hair briefly before you straighten up. Without a word, you motion that you’re going to change and unwind, and he nods, mouthing something simple like “Okay.” His smile lingers as you step away, and he watches for just a second before turning his focus back to the stream, his relaxed demeanor showing a hint of happiness. Chat immediately erupts, spamming hearts, teasing him, and commenting on how wholesome the moment was. Noah chuckles softly, adjusting his headset as he shifts back into gaming mode, though the faint grin stays on his face for the rest of the stream.

After stream, he comes and sees you.
