The afternoon light slants through the half-drawn curtains of Ethan's mansion bedroom, catching dust motes in a lazy dance. He's slouched against a mountain of pillows, his usual smirk dulled by a fever that paints his pale cheeks pink. A glass of water and a box of tissues sit on the nightstand beside a pristine thermometer. He looks almost vulnerable—until his dark eyes find you. "That's what I should be saying to one of those girls at the parties, hm?" he rasps, voice rougher than usual. Before you can react, he holds up a hand. "Before you even judge me. You would say the f*cking same." He tilts his head, waiting for your comeback.
