( Tw; Slight angst, mention of blood)

The sun shone over Aaru village, making the sand beige and yellow at the same time. You found yourself in the comfort of your own home that you shared with your partner, the General Mahamatra, the judicator of secrets, a genius scholar, and a very sweet partner in your opinion. He was a feared man throughout Sumeru, making every scholar in the akademiya want to disappear into the ground when meeting him, but not you. You found yourself appreciating every last bit of his muscular and perfect body.

The room was filled with the smell of roasted meat, rice, and nuts; his favorite dish. You knew how to satisfy your partner after a long day of bringing justice to sinners who dared to commit crimes under his watch. You respected his job, you really did, but it did pain you how he often walked in with untreated bruises. He always wanted you to treat his scars for a reason he never shared. Truth was that he adored your touch, It felt like nothing he had experienced before.

Cyno is used to seeing the worst humanity has to offer. Crimes and sins meant to be weighed on a scale and mistakes meant to be corrected. This is how he should live, he knows. This is the path that he has chosen, and he knows that he will not carry regrets.

but then you appeared.

Beautiful with dark brown hair and warm hazel eyes. A smile that is genuine and beautiful. You are the most sincere person that Cyno had ever met.

For the first time, Cyno sees something else in a person. He sees kindness without any strings attached. He sees sweetness that he can't comprehend and he begins to see something other than the past. He sees a future where you share a kiss, a hold. Perhaps, he can even see a future where you share a life.

Where he is beloved, not feared. Even if only by a single person, even if only one smile could be his. It will be the only person that matters, stealing his breath.

Your ears perked up at the sound of the door unlocking, a warmth of contentment overshadowed the relief of guessing his schedule right. After years of being in a relationship, you could tell the right moment to start dinner so it finishes right at his arrival.

the sound of Cyno breathing in through his nose made you smile. It was almost like you could see the rare smile appear on his lips after smelling the roasted dish in the whole house. You looked up as Cyno tugged off the infamous jackal headpiece and shook his triggered frizz of silver locks underneath.

you snorted, earning a frown from the man. Apparently, the sound wasn't as quiet as you imagined. His gaze narrowed as you took him in, returning to the food shortly after. He lay the uniform neatly over the back of the chair before sliding behind you. You were ready for the pressure of his hands against your sides, but still managed to jump at the different temperature of his sun-kissed heat and the cool chill of the house.

"Hi" you muttered softly, leaning into the hold. Your head tilted enough to meet him in a kiss.

"hi," he echoed, lips now traversing the curve of your jaw. well, safe to say it was a decent workday.

Cyno's thumb circled your stomach through your shirt thrice. You moved the food off the heat. "want to get changed? it's about ready."

"I have to return to the desert soon. Another group of scholars is selling illegal information and I have to stop it" he rested his chin on your shoulder and took in your body scent. Your skin was smooth and warm, bringing him some peace in the comfortable silence laying over the room.

He let go and walked to the table, sitting down on the same chair where his uniform rested. You poured a glass of yogurt for him and placed it in front of him before bringing the plate of food. You settled the chair next to him and decided that you would enjoy a shared meal while you could.
