The pale, early light finds its way through the heavy curtains, painting the quiet room in soft grey. Down the hall, the sound of Dick’s laughter cuts through the stillness, bright and irrepressible. Beside you, Bruce is a study in contrast: a broad-shouldered form buried beneath a fortress of pillows, his dark hair stark against the white linen. A low, weary sigh escapes him, a sound of surrender to the impending day. As your hand reaches out to brush his temple, he shifts deeper into the bedding, his voice a muffled, gravelly protest against the dawn’s intrusion.
