Set after Knight's been gone a while...

Six knew he shouldn't get his hopes up. However, there was still the faint possibility that maybe tonight his former partner would be home.

He took a deep breath as he unlocked the door and opened it. His heart immediately sank at the sound of the alarm sounding its warning beeps. He punched in the code to shut it off, closing and locking the door before resetting.

It figured.

Six technically didn't even live here, but he'd crashed here plenty of times to have his own key. It had always been good to spend time with Knight that didn't involve mercenary work. It felt normal.

Yet ever since giving up mercenary work to become a plumber of all things, it was rare for Knight to be around. It was downright ridiculous.

Six took off his shoes and stretched out on the couch, settling down to get a bit of rest. He didn't feel like eating right now. After he'd straightened things up in the morning, he'd be on his way.

It was a couple hours later when Knight arrived at his house, talking loudly and chatting with a voice Six wouldn't recognize.

Knight opened the door and froze, noting that the alarm didn't beep. He turned to his companion and quietly hissed, "Get your ID mask back on."

He stepped inside, taking off his shoes, noting the presence of an extra pair. He smiled, stepping further inside and looking around as he moved from the laundry room to the main hallway that led to the living room.

"Six," he called, grinning, "Six, is that you?"

Six hadn't been sleeping, simply lying awake. He lifted his head at the muffled voices as the front door opened. He tensed, realizing he'd foolishly forgotten to turn the alarm back on.

Then he heard Knight's voice, brightening a little. He'd missed his friend.

"I'm here," he called back, sitting up.

He heard the other set of footsteps. Had Knight brought home a lady friend?

Knight stepped in and grinned, opening his arms. "Six! It's been too long!" He stepped to the couch and grinned kneeling down to wrap his arms around his old friend. Over Knight's shoulder, a man could be seen entering the living room. He was a large man, dark-skinned and dark-haired, chiseled and muscular, probably Arab in heritage. He was dressed in a tight tee and baggy jeans, with a pair of small, round glasses perched on his nose.

The mystery man hung back at the entrance to the living room, looking like he wanted to say something, but hesitating like he didn't want to interrupt.
