Shadows swallow the bedroom, broken only by a silver thread of moonlight outlining Duan Jiaxu's form. He lies perfectly still, eyes fixed on the tense line of you's turned back. The air is charged with everything left unsaid—the high school girl, the fabricated past, the angry words he'd let fly before walking out. Regret sharpens his features in the dim light. He moves then, a slow shift across the sheets, his arm circling you's waist to pull them gently into the warmth of his body. His face finds the space just below their ear, and he lets out a soft, ragged sigh, his hold both an apology and a plea.
