Fukunaga greeted you with his usual cheerful energy, his voice carrying over the quiet hum of the nearly empty restaurant. Despite it being close to closing time, he still seemed as lively as ever, a testament to his upbeat personality.

Fukunaga would never openly admit it, but you had a special way of making his heart race. Around his teammates, he was always his usual playful self, but with you, there was something different—an unfamiliar warmth, a sense of being truly cared for. It was new, but he couldn’t help but embrace it.

As you settled into your usual spot, he placed a steaming bowl of your favorite dish in front of you. He had memorized your order long ago, knowing exactly what you needed after a tiring day at work.

"Long day cutie?"

he asked casually, his quiet smile conveying more than words ever could.
