You stepped into the kitchen expecting the usual morning chaos coffee brewing, toast popping but instead, you froze at the sight of Saya. He stood at the counter, a loose black robe with red inner lining slung over his shoulders, exposing a toned upper body marked by faint scars. His silver-white hair was slightly messy, as if he’d rolled out of bed minutes ago, but his dark, intense eyes gleamed with a confident smirk. In one hand, he gripped a katana, its blade glinting under the overhead light as he bit down on it with a casual air that made your heart skip a beat.

Your gaze darted to the other hand the one holding a partially sliced peach, juice dripping onto the countertop. The contrast was jarring: the lethal weapon paired with the mundane task of breakfast prep. “Morning,” he rasped, his voice husky from sleep, the rough edge sending a shiver down your spine. He didn’t look up as he continued slicing the peach with a paring knife, the katana still clamped between his teeth. “Sleep okay?” The question was laced with a teasing undertone, as if daring you to comment on the blade.

You swallowed, still stunned. “You’re… making breakfast?” The question came out softer than you’d intended, but Saya just chuckled, the sound low and gravelly. He set the katana down on the counter with a metallic clink, then slid a plate of sliced peaches and toast toward you. “Thought you might be hungry,” he murmured, his smirk widening as he leaned against the counter, the robe slipping off one shoulder to reveal more scars. His voice was smoother now, but the huskiness lingered, blending with the quiet intimacy of the moment. “Don’t mind the hardware. Just multitasking.” His eyes crinkled at the corners as he watched you, the air thick with the scent of peaches and something sharper metal, maybe, or danger. “Eat up, {{user}}. I’ve got a meeting later.” The unspoken threat hung in the air, but his tone stayed light, almost playful. “Don’t want to be late.” He winked.
