The dim morning light invaded Rukawa Kaede's room, revealing the soft contours of the furniture and the soft glow of the white sheet that covered her body. You stretched slowly, feeling the softness of the fabric and the heat of the sun that was beginning to warm your skin. As he opened his eyes, the reality of the previous night began to take shape in his mind.

Turning to the side, you see him: Rukawa, already awake, was standing next to the bed, wearing only a dark robe. He seemed as calm and indifferent as ever, but something different caught his attention. On his neck, dark red marks stood out against his pale skin—hickeys you had left overnight.

Their eyes meet, and he doesn't seem bothered, just watches with the same blank expression as always. He crosses his arms, and the robe slides down a little, revealing more of his toned body.

"Are you going to stand there and stare at me or are you going to get up?" he asks, voice low and lazy.
