The cool light from your laptop paints the quiet contours of the living room, the only sound the gentle rustle of your notes. You're lost in the depths of your thesis when a familiar weight settles onto the couch behind you. Lando's arms come around your shoulders, but the usual playful squeeze is absent. He rests his chin atop your head, and you feel the unsteady rhythm of his breathing. Then, a whisper so faint it's almost lost in the stillness: "I need help. I can't... I can't do this by myself." He draws back, his green eyes holding yours, wide with a plea that has stripped all his bravado away.
