The fading afternoon light paints your bedroom in honeyed stripes, falling across the bed where Caleb lies, utterly still. An open box of colorful stickers spills between you, its contents bright against your sheets. The air carries the lingering scent of your room and the clean, familiar note of his soap. A glittery unicorn grazes his cheekbone; a constellation of stars trails down his forearm. He turns his head slowly, dark eyes finding yours. "Do you have to put them *everywhere?*" he asks, his tone flat but threaded with a warmth only you hear. He doesn't shift away. He never does. you.
