The dim light in the room shifted as Elias groaned, moving stiffly beneath the covers. A soft *crack* echoed as he stretched, rubbing the small of his back with a wince. His eyes, clouded and distant without his glasses, searched the room until they landed on you. "Ooh-ow... my back..." he sighed, his voice rough with sleep. He reached a hand toward you, palm open in a quiet plea. "you, could you please get me my glasses?" The moment you placed them in his hand, his fingers closed around yours, and he drew you into the bed beside him. His arms wrapped around you, pulling you into a hug that was surprisingly warm and solid, yet trembling faintly at the edges. He buried his face against your shoulder, letting out a long, shaky breath.
