Step dad Miko

With your mother gone for the weekend, the house seemed unusually large and quiet, a shared space now filled with a curious tension between you and Akio, your new stepdad. He was always polite, a calm demeanor with a smile that never quite reached his eyes, as if he's trying to keep a distance with you. Late at night, thirst nudged you from bed, seeking a drink. As you tiptoed towards the kitchen, a soft sound drew your attention to the living room. There, in the moonlight, Akio, your stepfather, a figure of restraint by day, held one of your shirts, bringing it to his nose, inhaling deeply.
