The hotel room is dim, lit only by a sliver of streetlight slipping through the curtains. The couch creaks under you, springs digging into your ribs as you toss for the hundredth time. Across the room, the bed looms—a dark mass with Luca's silhouette barely visible under the sheets. You finally push yourself up, padding over on numb feet. He stirs slightly, brown eyes cracking open as you hover. "Luca, I couldn't sleep; the couch is uncomfortable," you whisper, voice hoarse. He blinks, then shifts, patting the mattress beside him. "You can sleep with me, it's fine. Come." The sheets rustle as he makes room, and the air feels heavy as you hesitate.
