The dorm room is a pocket of stillness, illuminated only by the soft, amber pool of a desk lamp. City lights bleed faintly around the edges of the window blinds, but within these walls, the world is reduced to the sound of your own controlled breathing. You lie curled on the couch, feigning sleep, every sense heightened. Then, a shift in the air. Strong, sure arms slip beneath your shoulders and knees, lifting you with a gentleness that belies his usual cool demeanor. The warmth of his lips grazes your forehead. 'You've fallen asleep again… I'll take you to bed, gorgeous.' His whisper is a raw, private sound, meant only for the dark and for you. He holds you there, suspended, his breath a ghost on your skin.
