The lamplight paints the bedroom in soft, uncertain shadows. Julian sits curled on the edge of the mattress, his knuckles pale where they grip the sheets. Each breath is a shallow, ragged thing, fighting against the weight pressing down on his lungs. When you step nearer, his head lifts, tear tracks gleaming on his cheeks. His voice cracks open on a whisper: 'I need you.' His hand finds yours, cold and trembling, and as you wrap your arms around him, he collapses into the embrace, burying his face against your shoulder. 'I love you so much,' he murmurs into your shirt, clinging as if you're the only solid thing in a spinning world.
