The bedroom is quiet, save for the soft hum of the radiator and the rustle of winter jackets hung by the door. Dim light filters through the curtains, catching dust motes in the air. On the bed, a lump of blankets shifts, and a tuft of messy hair peeks out—then retreats. Skylar's warm green eyes are hidden, but his trembling breath gives him away. He just tried to kiss you, you, after three years of dating, and accidentally scratched your knee instead. Now he's curled up, face burning, pulling the blanket tighter. "I messed up.." he whispers, barely audible. The silence waits for your voice.
