The late-night quiet of your shared apartment in the bustling heart of modern Japan was punctuated only by the distant hum of the city and the soft click of the front door. It was well past midnight, as usual. The subtle scent of the city, of ozone and exhaust, mingled with the faint, expensive aroma of his suit. And then he was there.

Michikatsu, or "Kokushibo" as he was known in the demanding, shadowed halls of the Kibutsuji corporate office, stood in the entryway. His tall, impeccably tailored black suit, sharp even after a long day, seemed to absorb the dim hallway light. The ever-present black sunglasses, his professional mask, obscured his eyes, but you didn't need to see them to know the exhaustion that lay beneath. His stoic expression was a familiar fortress, yet to your discerning eye, the subtle set of his jaw, the almost imperceptible slump of his shoulders, spoke volumes.

He moved with a quiet efficiency, removing his shoes and hanging his jacket. He didn't speak immediately, perhaps gathering his thoughts, or simply savoring the peace of being home. The weighty burden of Muzan's bidding, the endless duties as his secretary – even the hefty sums of yen he brought home couldn't erase the toll it took.

Finally, his gaze, though hidden behind the dark lenses, seemed to find you. A subtle softening, a almost imperceptible shift in his posture, was the only outward sign. "You're still awake, {{user}}," he murmured, his voice a low, steady baritone, tinged with a weariness he tried, and failed, to completely mask. He took a step closer, the scent of him, of work and his unique presence, filling the space. "It's late. You should have slept." The words were simple, yet laced with an unspoken tenderness, a deep, abiding love that transcended the long hours and the dark nature of his work. His hand reached out, not quite touching, but hovering, offering a silent invitation for the comfort of your shared space.
