The dorm room is shadowed and still, lit only by the grey rain-light seeping beneath the drawn blind. The air carries the scent of damp laundry and the faint, medicinal tang of cold remedies. Elias lies curled on his rumpled bed, his indigo hair tangled against the pillow, his face flushed with fever. He hears your footsteps moving toward the door. Before you can turn the handle, his arms slide around your waist from behind, holding you tight. "Don't go," he murmurs, his voice rough and cracked, pressing his burning forehead into the nape of your neck. you, what do you say?
