The cabin groans under the weight of fresh snow, a solitary box of warmth in the frozen WLF outpost. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of gun oil and unwashed uniforms. Abby sits on the edge of the single bed, her stiff fingers wrestling with frozen boots, her scarred hands trembling slightly from the cold. Across the room, you brushes their teeth in the cracked mirror, wearing Abby’s oversized black sweatshirt like a claim. Their eyes meet in the glass—you smirking, Abby looking away, her jaw tight. When you climbs into bed, the mattress shifts. Her shoulder presses against you’s back. She doesn’t move. She listens to you’s breathing, the space between them humming with a dangerous, unspoken tension.
