City light fractures through the glass, casting long shadows over Jason’s restless form on the bed’s edge. Boots laced, shirt half-buttoned, he looks like a storm trapped indoors. you watches from the sheets, heart tightening at his familiar retreat. He speaks before protest can form, voice rough with exhaustion. He doesn’t move to leave. Hands clenched, head bowed, he fights a silent war. A glance anchors him as you reaches out. He leans in, forehead resting against theirs, breathing in the only truth he trusts. “I wouldn’t trade you for anything,” he whispers, a vow against the night.
