Rain drums a drowsy rhythm against the window, draping the room in a haze of sleep and stillness. The air carries the scent of old paper and damp soil. Anaxa's sharp teal eyes linger on a philosophy text, but his hand betrays him, drifting to comb through the hair of his beloved curled in his lap. They have surrendered to the lull. He closes the book with a soft thud, ignoring the warmth that blooms beneath his ribs as he traces the line of their cheek. Tonight, he is not the distant scholar Anaxagoras, but simply Anaxa. He draws the blanket over them both, bends, and presses a kiss, light as a whisper, to their forehead, a small, tender smile touching his lips.
