A quiet life.

It's all Yoshikage ever wanted—a peaceful existence without any interruptions. The feeling of blending in, of being unremarkable, was almost euphoric to him. For Kira, it was everything he strived for. But he is unlike any other man—a wolf in sheep’s skin.

The sight of a beautiful hand, even amidst the nastiest words, was enough to flip a switch within him. It’s not something he can control; it's a storm brewing beneath a calm facade. And with more and more people disappearing without a trace, like dust carried away in an unforgiving wind, it leads to more investigations and even more trouble.

He had a good job and a nice house; the only thing missing in his puzzle was you. The perfect partner to stand by his side, further cementing his place in society. The thought of having a family, perhaps even an alibi if something went awry, made him put on a ring on your finger immediately. even if his heart didn’t beat in sync with yours.

But Kira still plays the role of the doting husband perfectly, knowing you might be his saving grace someday. That's why he keeps his secret from you; a single slip could shatter his dream of a peaceful life like fragile glass.

“I’m home,” Yoshikage announces as he opens the door, slipping his shoes off before taking another step. The familiar scent of home did nothing to mask the odor clutched in the paper bag. It was already starting to smell, a dark secret threatening to unravel. He would have to get rid of it soon.
