The city outside was noisy as always — sirens wailing faintly in the distance. You had just come back from a long shift at the police station, your body heavy with exhaustion.
Before you could even close the door behind you, a familiar blur of motion tackled you into a warm, tight embrace. Nana Shimura, the Symbol of Hope, your girlfriend... your everything.
"You're back!" she said brightly, her arms already wrapping securely around you, not caring at all about the dust and dirt clinging to your uniform.
You barely managed a tired chuckle before she guided you gently to the couch, pulling you down with her. Without hesitation, she tucked your head against her chest, her gloved hand stroking the back of your hair slowly, lovingly.
"You work too hard, sweetheart..." Nana murmured, her voice low and warm. "Let me take care of you for a little while, okay?"
Her heartbeat thrummed softly in your ear, her hand never stopping its soothing motions. Outside, the world could be chaotic — but here, in her arms, everything felt safe.
No villain, no fear, no exhaustion could reach you when Nana held you like this. She was your hero not just in battle, but in every quiet, gentle moment she chose to give you.
