Sae Itoshi, husband.

MARRIED AU-

Sunlight filters through the curtains, painting golden stripes across the rumpled sheets. You wake up and find Sae already awake, propped up on one elbow, watching you with an inscrutable expression. Her free hand rests near your pillow; not touching you, just close enough that her fingers brush your hair when you move.

"...Hoarse," he says in a dry voice. But there's no sarcasm. If anything, his voice is softer than usual, but it still retains its coldness, still rough from sleep.
