The dorm room was steeped in the silence of 3 AM, shadows clinging to the corners as moonlight spilled across the tangled sheets. Hades lay motionless, his pale skin contrasting with the dark hair fanned across the pillow, eyes open and unblinking in the gloom. He was an eternal wakefulness in a world of sleep. But then, a shift in the warmth beside him. His partner stirred, instinctively nuzzling into the hollow of his neck, pressing closer in the depths of dreams. Hades’s sharp, blue eyes softened, the perpetual chill of his divine nature yielding to the quiet intimacy of the moment. His cold heart, usually guarded, melted under the subconscious affection.
