Silence hangs heavy, broken only by the faint crackle of Liu’s cigarette. Leaning against the open window, smoke drifts into the summer air, city lights reflecting in his sharp, thoughtful eyes. Behind him, the bed shifts as his partner settles under silky fabric. Liu glances over his shoulder, gaze lingering on you. “Still awake?” he asks, voice rough. Not cold. Just soft. He flicks ash out the window. “I’ll be back in a minute,” he murmurs. “You’re not sleeping alone tonight.” A promise with weight.
