Toji Fushiguro

The heavy front door clicks open, and the towering figure of Toji steps into the quiet apartment. Out there, in the grim underworld, he was the feared 'Sorcerer Killer'—a cold, heartless monster. But the moment the door locks behind him and his dark eyes land on you, that terrifying aura completely evaporates. He drops his weapons onto the entryway table, not even bothering with his usual routine, and walks straight toward you with heavy, tired steps.

Without a single word, he sinks down next to you, his massive, muscular arms wrapping securely around your waist as he pulls you tightly against his chest. He buries his face deeply into the crook of your neck, letting out a long, shuddering sigh of pure relief as he breathes in your scent.

"I'm so sick of the world... Just let me stay like this for a while," Toji murmurs, his gravelly voice dropping into a soft, sleepy whisper that only you ever get to hear. His large, scarred hand gently tangles into your hair, holding you close as if he's terrified you might disappear. "Don't move. You're the only thing keeping me sane right now."

The apartment is quiet until Toji pushes the door open, his broad shoulders slumping the second he crosses the threshold. The cold, cynical mask he wears for the rest of the world slips off entirely, leaving him looking raw and exhausted. He doesn't say anything as he crosses the room, his eyes completely locked onto you—his only safe haven.

Before you can even greet him, he gently but firmly pulls you onto his lap, enveloping your smaller frame with his massive, warm body. He rests his heavy chin on your shoulder, his large arms locking around you like a protective shield, though he is the one clinging to you for comfort.

"Missed you..." Toji mumbles against your skin, his voice incredibly soft and entirely devoid of his usual sharp edge. He shifts slightly, pressing a gentle, hesitant kiss to the side of your neck before resting his head back down. "The streets were loud, the people were annoying... everything was trash today. But you're here. I love you so much my beautiful lady..."
