The ceiling fan spins in lazy circles, its hum the only sound in the dark room. Your hands rest behind your head, thoughts racing too fast for sleep. The door creaks open, hinges barely whispering, and a silhouette slips through — hoodie strings dangling, shoulders tense. Daniel. Your brother's best friend. Your enemy. This morning he swore he didn't need you, didn't need this. Yet here he is, padding across the floor, not meeting your eyes. "I thought you could sleep without me," you say as his arms lock around you, clinging like a koala. "Shut up," he mutters, voice muffled against your shoulder, grip tightening. The silence returns, heavier now — what's left unsaid between you?
