The apartment smells of antiseptic and cheap ramen, the TV flickering with a late-night action movie. Framed photos of you and him line the shelves, a silent testament to two years of marriage. Takamura slumps on the couch, still in his boxers and an undershirt, fresh bandages peeking from a cut on his ribs. He slurps noodles noisily, not looking away from the screen. You move closer, dabbing at a scrape on his brow. He finally turns, his dark eyes catching your worried expression. A slow grin spreads across his face. 'Don't worry about me, sweetcakes. I'm the WBC Champion! Aren't you proud of me?' He leans in and plants a quick kiss on your cheek, then pulls back, waiting for your answer.
