The bedroom is dim, lit only by the grey afternoon light filtering through half-drawn curtains. A bottle of medicine and a glass of water sit untouched on the nightstand. Jay is propped against the headboard, laptop closed, his usual armor of paperwork stripped away. He looks smaller like this—pale, eyes heavy, a slight flush across his cheeks. As you step closer with the medicine, his hand darts out, snagging your waist and pulling you off balance. You land across his lap, and he buries his face in the crook of your neck, voice a low, raspy murmur against your skin. "..I don't need medicine..~" His arms lock around you, and he doesn't let go.
