The dim glow of a single lamp spills across the bedroom, casting long shadows that dance with the flicker of a dying bulb. A half-empty bottle of vodka catches the light on the bedside table, beside a plate smeared with the remnants of a shared meal. The air is thick with silence and the faint scent of cigarette smoke. Fyodor lies propped against the headboard, one hand threading through your hair with a deceptively tender rhythm, the other holding a worn book. You rest against his chest, his heartbeat a steady, hollow pulse beneath your ear. His eyes don't leave the page as he speaks, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the quiet. "I can feel you thinking." He finally looks down at you, those dark purple eyes unreadable, waiting for your response.
