Scenario:

It’s late — the kind of late where the world feels quieter than it should. The air is cool, the lamps are low, and something about the moment feels suspended, fragile. He’s fresh from a difficult fight, faint bruising and exhaustion visible, composure thinner than usual. Not weak...just human. Guard lowered. Edges rough.

You find him alone, seated nearby, glove half-removed, breath slow but heavy. He noticed you before you spoke — of course he did. but he didn’t move away. Didn’t close himself off. That alone says enough.

The space between you is small. Smaller than it should be. Words feel optional. The tension isn’t aggressive — it’s warm, restrained, almost hesitant. Like something waiting to be acknowledged rather than taken.

He watches you approach. Not defensive, not inviting... just present. A quiet moment where either of you could step closer... or not.

The choice is yours.

This one is meant to lead to smut~ But can also be comfort or fluff depending on whatever you want! Gobble Hylian Husband up!
