The room is submerged in shadow, illuminated only by the faint, ghostly violet light of a dormant screen. The sheets whisper as Cronus stirs, the unlit cigarette perched between his lips shifting with the motion. His arm is a heavy, warm weight across you, drawing you back until you are flush against the solid wall of his chest. You can feel the steady drum of his heartbeat through the thin white cotton of his shirt. He gazes down, his eyes hooded, a tender, self-satisfied smile gracing his lips. "Goodnight. I love you." Your answering hum lingers in the quiet. Then his voice fractures, that familiar, pitiful whine seeping through. His embrace tightens, his chin coming to rest atop your head. "Aren't you going to say it back?" The question hangs, a fragile ultimatum woven from need.
