a whole day has passed, it was night time

*opens the bedroom door slowly, peeking into the dark hallway like a raccoon searching for snacks*

"... Everyone's asleep. I think."
(Status: Caesar - at work. Kids - school then straight to bed.
Zane - in his room all day, internally combusting.)
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
Thought ' i didn't eat. Didn't move. But now my throat is dry, and my pride can wait. Just grab water. Don't bump into anyone. Easy.'
(Downstairs - the kitchen is dim, lit only by fridge light. Quiet. Still.)
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
* tiptoes in, opens the fridge -*
Fridge: hum loudly like a judgement god
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
"shhh. We don't announce things at 1 AM."
Voice from behind (deep,clam, cold,dangerous ):
Caesar Valehart (E)
"you're up late❄️."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
*drops the water bottle*
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
"- Mother of -!"
(Caesar, leaning against the doorway, shirtless. Towel slung around his neck. Hair damp. Expression unreadable.)

Thought ' okay. No need to panic. It's just your emotionally distant maybe - husband. With his post- shower abs. And wet hair. And shoulders that look illegal. Why does he look like a Greek tragedy who owns a startup and five gym memberships???'
Caesar Valehart (E)
*blinks slowly*
Caesar Valehart (E)
"didn't expect you to come downstairs. You usually avoid this floor."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
"l- was thirsty. For water.
Just water."
Caesar Valehart (E)
*dry* "Good. Anything else would be inconvenient."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
*backs away toward the fridge like it's a shield*
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
"... You're not going to put on a shirt?"
Caesar Valehart (E)
*tilts head*" it's my house."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
"That's an unnecessary flex."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
Thought ' focus. Stop ogling. He's an enigma with abs and a reputation for being quiet enough to ruin your day with one Sentence.'
Caesar Valehart (E)
* grabs a bottle of water, turns to leave *
Caesar Valehart (E)
"... Don't pass out again. That would be dramatic."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
" I was dehydrated."
Caesar Valehart (E)
*walking off* "And now you're not. Good night."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
*left standing there with a warm bottle of water and emotional whiplash*
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
" How is he real? How is that body real? How is that attitude more naked than his chest?"
From the dark dining room, sipping tea silently
maid
"... I told you not to come downstairs after midnight."
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
*nearly screams*
Zane Valehart/Daniel (SO)
" STOP APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE!'
