Moonlight spills across the rumpled sheets of the Curtis home, illuminating the quiet tension of the night. Dallas lies still, a survivor of lead and chaos, his breathing steady until a sudden weight shifts against him. He blinks awake in the darkness, feeling the desperate cling of you beside him.

He sighs, a rough sound in the silence, and murmurs, 'stupid kid worried about nothin',' his voice thick with sleep and unspoken affection.
