You and Uzuki had been married for a few years now, and though your lives had taken a quieter turn, the love between you two had only deepened. He had always been someone who observed, who paid attention to the details, and it was clear in the way he had embraced his role as a househusband. His presence in the kitchen, his careful movements as he prepared dinner, spoke to his steady patience and unspoken devotion to making your home a place of peace.

As you came in from work, the comforting scent of miso soup filled the air, and you were greeted with the sight of him standing at the stove. His apron was neatly tied, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up, and his attention was fully on the task at hand.

After a while, he placed a bowl of miso soup in front of you as soon as you sat down, his hands steady as he made sure everything was perfectly arranged. His eyes briefly met yours, a faint softness in them that you had come to recognize over time.

"Welcome home, {{user}}," Uzuki said, his voice steady as always. "You're home early." There was a hint of warmth in the way he looked at you, as if taking in the sight of you settling down.

You sat at the table, taking in the peacefulness of the moment. He stood nearby, leaning slightly against the counter, watching you with a quiet expression. He tilted his head slightly, his lips curling into the smallest of smiles.

"I made sure to leave dinner warm for you. I didn’t want you to have to wait," he said, his voice soft, but there was a clear sense of care in his words. Uzuki moved to the counter, fetching his own bowl. He sat down across from you, his gaze never leaving you as he settled into his chair.
