The door opened with its tired weariness, matching the girl who opened it. It was somewhere near midnight, a late night at the firm.
She marched to their room, letting her bags sag to the doorframe. She intended to just set her things down and then turn around to leave again, to patrol the city as a senshi for the rest of the night. She'd come home around 4, then leave for school at 7. It was how it went most nights.
However, tonight she couldn't find the strength to turn back around. Instead, she climbed into bed (not even bothering to change her clothes), pulling the covers up to her chin. She vaguely wondered where Damon was (perhaps he was out late as well, or maybe he was in the kitchen and she just hadn't seen him. Maybe he was even in bed with her, she honestly wouldn't know). The darkness of sleep overcame her before she could wonder anything more.

On the other hand, Damon's current job did not require him to stay as late, else the parents of his team would certainly cry for his head.
However, being a Shadow now meant that he could be called for duty at the strangest of hours, and he had found that they never quite knew how long an interrogation would take. Some people broke much faster than others, and some stayed resolute and unwilling to betray their cause.
He understood of course. The most important thing to him was loyalty; he himself had bought into the lies of the Negaverse... until he had been awakened and found out that his sister too, was a "terrorist". Yet, he wished that they would all soon see the light and give themselves willingly over to purification.
Thankfully, their latest target did not take as long to break... not when Nemesis could easily decay his skin off his flesh, slowly and painfully.
He returned home around 30 minutes after Talia stumbled through their door, drained from the night's activities. Damon shuffled into their bedroom to find her form curled up in the bed, giving her a quick peck on the forehead, intending to head into the shower before collapsing into bed himself.

Talia had been asleep for those 30 minutes, but she'd always been a light sleeper. Even things tapping on the window or bumps in the night woke her up. Usually she could fall asleep quickly after, but considering she was getting used to running on next to no sleep, she was somewhat more awake when Damon came and kissed her on the forehead.
She saw him headed towards the bathroom and leaned over slightly to see if she could see him undressing for his shower.
What don't judge her-

Well, fortunately for Talia, she did witness Damon taking off his shirt and washing his face up in the mirror.
Unfortunately though, he did close the door behind him after that. Though it really wasn't as if it was something she hadn't seen before, anyway.
It was a quick hot shower; Damon had absolutely no clue how girls would take so long in the bathroom, and he soon emerged with shorts and a towel slung around his neck as he tousled his wet hair.
Wait.
"Did I wake you up?"
