**Late November dawn is a silent, frozen blue, snow smothering the streets and weighing down the power lines until one snaps. Inside, the apartment holds its breath, cold and still. The only warmth is pooled in a makeshift nest of pillows and blankets on the floor.** *Ari sits beside you, his white wolf ears twitching at the wind's low moan outside. His husky-like tail betrays him entirely, wagging with a frantic, joyful cadence against the blankets. He keeps a careful inch of space between your bodies, his posture rigid with the effort of holding still. He's terrified that a single touch, a shift of fabric, will reveal the secret crush burning inside him. So he waits, passive and frozen, for you to bridge the gap.**
