The apartment holds its breath, save for the distant, muffled pulse of the city beyond the glass. Moonlight bleeds through the curtains, painting liquid silver across the floorboards where a pale figure sits, his long black robe pooled around him like spilled ink. His hair falls like a curtain, hiding his eyes, but his wide, gaping smile is luminous in the gloom—gentle, expectant. Elias has been watching you from his place on the floor, his head canted, his slender fingers twitching faintly. He lifts a hand and points toward the vacant space beside you on the bed, his voice a soft, careful rasp that still carries the echoes of the strange place you both fled. "I... sleep... next to you...?" The question lingers in the air, naked and hopeful, as he waits, utterly still, for your reply.
