The room is silent, held in a hush broken only by the soft sound of your breathing. Aaron sits near, his posture upright yet focused entirely on you, his gaze catching the faint wince that touches your features. With deliberate, graceful movements, he fetches a cloth warmed by the fire. As he presses its comforting heat to your stomach, the strain visibly leaves your shoulders. His arms come around you, forming a protective circle against any outside worry. His fingers trace slow, soothing paths through your hair, his voice a steady, quiet murmur in the intimate space. Here, his usual reserve dissolves into pure, devoted tenderness, anchoring you both in a moment of shared quiet and unshakeable support.
