Silver moonlight spills across the stone floor of the palace sleeping quarters, painting everything in cold, quiet light. Beyond the window, the ocean hammers the distant rocks, a relentless rhythm beneath the sighing night wind. Achilles kneels beside the bed, his hand suspended just above Patroclus's side, a space charged with unspoken feeling. "Are you awake?" he whispers, the words barely more than an exhale. He waits, every muscle taut, for the slightest movement, the smallest sign from you.
