The car came to a rest in front of a one-floor ranch house. The neighborhood had looked average, and the house matched all of the others on the street. It had a peeling layer of light grey paint, and a few shingles looked questionable. But other than that, it looked perfectly fine.

You grabbed for your bag as Ohm got out. A second later he stood by your door. Pulling it open and offering a hand, you accepted his politeness. Before you could go get your suitcase, he continued holding your hand and walked you to the door. He released your hand only to grab the key, which he turned in the lock. He pushed the door open.

"It isn't anything great," he warned. "But it is something." You both stepped inside.

"It looks amazing." You said, taking it all in. It wasn't a huge house by far, but it had a smaller, home feeling. To your left was a family room. A TV sat in one corner, and two couches on the walls lay next to a cupboard and fireplace.

Ohm nudged you forwards.

"I am gonna get your bag. Go look around."

He disappeared and you slipped your shoes off. Walking straight ahead and past the family room, you gound yourself in a hallway. To your left was a tiny kitchen and dining room.

To your right was a hall with four doors. The first door on your right was an office. But not a normal office. A PC that you recognized as Alienware sat on the desk, and gaming posters covered the walls. You walked out and went to the room across from it. A not-so-modern bathroom. You returned to the hall and opened the last door on the right. An empty bedroom. A bed with some soft-looking sheets sat in a corner and a desk in another. Against another wall sat a dresser, and to the left of the bed was a closet. You slid open the closet and found some extra woman's clothes. They looked like they would fit you.

Moving to the last door, you pushed it open. Ohm's room. The walls were grey like yours, but so were his bed covers. White furniture was scattered against walls, and another door was in the corner. Walking past the closet, you opened the other door. A small bathroom that lead to the larger one from before. Walking back into the older bathroom, you saw a third door. Opening it, you found yourself with the kitchen up ahead and a door on your left. The basement.

By now Ohm had returned, and he put an arm on your shoulder.

"What do you think?" He asked nervously.

"It is great. Besides the confusing layout, it feels like a home." You smiled.

"Yeah, the older styles are a bit weird." He paused. "Wanna watch a movie? Or you could unpack or something..." He broke off.

"I would love to!" You grinned.

He returned it and you two walked to the family room.

"I just got this new TV," he explained, answering the question you were about to ask. "But I don't have many movies."

"We can watch whatever,"you shrugged. "Anything works."

"Hmm. I can go get something. You good here?" He asked.

"Sure. I can set up my room." You replied.

"When I get back, I have something for you." He said. He looked at you.

After exchanging a hug, he made his way towards the door.

"Ohm?" You called.

"Huh?" He turned around, hand on the door.

"Thank you. For everything." He had done so much just so you too could be together.

"Of course babe." He was soon gone.

You grabbed your suitcase and bag and dragged them to your new room.

After organizing everything into your new room, you decided to go through the closet. Behind a bunch of clothes you found a box. You pulled it out and opened it up. A nice PC and a few accessories. Probably the old computer before the one in his office.

You put it back and started fluttering through the hangers. Something fell out.

You picked up the small contained. Opening it revealed a stash of dog treats. Dog treats?

You heard the front door open and close.

"I am back." Ohm called into the house.

"Yay! I have a question," you hollered back. You held the box of treats and walked into the hallway. Only to be knocked down by something covered in soft fur.

"Buddy!" He yelled. "Down!"

You giggled and picked up the dog who was now licking your face.

"This answers my question," you continued to laugh. You slid the box towards Ohm.

"Oh yeah," he laughed too. "I always had to hide those."

"Had?" You raised an eyebrow before it was licked by Buddy.

"You see," he started. "I got Buddy like 10 years back, before I joined Evan and the others. And Evan said I had to keep him somewhere else. So Buddy was stuck in a room in the basement at the headquarters. It wasn't like he was captive though. I got to take him outside and stuff."

That explained why Ohm always had seemed to disappear randomly before Evan made you too stop being together.

"He had Joe and Tony to keep him company though," he said sadly.

"Nogla's?" You asked.

"Yeah. He sleeps in an extra room down there and takes care of them and Buddy when needed."

"Of course he does," you smiled.

You carefully pried Buddy from you and handed him back to Ohm.

"Hope you don't mind dogs," he laughed.

"Too late. Just kidding. Even if I didn't, Buddy is an exception."

"Bad news. The movie place was closed. We gotta find something else to do." Ohm said after you too walked into the family room yo play with Buddy.

"That is okay." You shrugged. "Buddy could use some attention."

You both sat down with your backs against the couch. Buddy jumped up on Ohm's lap and rested his head on your leg. You leaned against Ohm and Buddy wagged his tail. 

This made you giggle and your laugh made Ohm grin. Soon you were both giggling. It had been so long since you had heard his little laugh and you missed it. All worries were gone. You finally felt like you were in a good place. A good home.

Outside the back door, a figure is seen moving around. They gesture back to something and a few more people join them. One raises a hand and signals to the other ones to wait. He moves around his other hand and the outline of something becomes clear in the dying light: a handgun.
