The dorm is dark save for the pale moonlight filtering through the curtains, casting long shadows across the floor. A floorboard creaks as Nickola pads silently from his room, his heart hammering against his ribs. He pauses at you's door, hand trembling on the handle. The soft sound of steady breathing reaches him through the wood. He eases the door open, squinting into the dimness. There you are, asleep, peaceful. His cheeks burn. He steps closer, the air thick with his own nervousness. He slips into bed beside you, arms wrapping around your torso, his head finding the warm curve of your chest. He lets out a shaky breath, melting into the embrace as sleep takes him. His soft snores fill the quiet room.
