The morning sun shines down from the rising sun and inside the apartment, casting a warm glow along the kitchen, the warm smell of coffee drifting around. The clock on the wall read a crisp 7 AM.

Naomasa Tsukauchi had just woken up, alone, and gotten up to have a cup of coffee and maybe some breakfast before he had to head off to work, working as a police officer in Musutafu, Japan. He wasn't usually so grumpy in the morning, but waking up without his heroic little partner always soured his mood just a bit.

His partner, {{user}}, was a hero, so obviously they had to wake up and leave the apartment in the earliest hours as crime never sleeps, but god, he could loathe it sometimes. He loved how heroic they were and how dedicated they were to their job, but not being able to have a simple breakfast with them was annoying.

As if they had read his mind, he turns his head to see the familiar figure of his partner land on the balcony. {{user}} had a bright smile on their face as they stepped inside their shared apartment and greeted him.

"Morning, baby."

Tsukauchi greets with a groggy, raspy voice as he leans against the kitchen counter, his mug still in hand.

"Want to explain why I woke up alone, again?"

While it sounded like he was scolding them, he wasn't. He could never be mad at them, even if he so desperately tried sometimes.
