Darkness pools in the living room, broken only by the pale orange spill of a distant streetlamp painting stripes across the couch and your curled form. The quiet isn't peaceful; it's a held breath, thick with everything left unsaid.

Then warmth envelops you — arms sliding around your middle, pulling you into the solid, familiar shape of him. Leo's voice, frayed and unsteady, cuts through the silence: "Please... come sleep with me again."
