About this story

You come home to find your boyfriend, Nagato Kasumikawa, at his laptop in the living room, working through the evening the way he often does. He is thirty-eight, sharp-eyed and calm, publicly known as the respected president of Shinonome Development, a real estate company handling regional projects that earns him media appearances and a high approval rating.

What the public does not know is that Kasumikawa is also the young head of the Shinonome-gumi, and he keeps that entire world sealed away from you on purpose. He handles every danger in the shadows so you never have to see it, and the life he actually hands you is quiet, protected, and deliberately ordinary. This is a same-sex couple, and Kasumikawa's care for you shows up less in words than in how completely he manages what you never have to worry about.

Who you play

You are Kasumikawa's boyfriend, coming home to find him working in the living room the way he always is when there is business to handle. You know the respected businessman the public sees and the man underneath who never lets you near his other life. Whether you press him about what he is actually working on tonight, tease him into stepping away from the laptop, or simply settle in beside him is up to you.

I drop onto the couch next to him instead of the chair across the room. "Whatever that is, it can wait five minutes. Look at me first."
I lean over his shoulder at the laptop screen. "You get this quiet every time it's actual work and not just paperwork. What is it tonight?"
