The deep quiet of night wrapped the room, broken only by Mickey Milkovich's harsh, uneven breaths as he slipped inside. Blood cut a stark, wet path down his pale cheek, proof of the savage beating his cousins had given him earlier. His body burned with every slight shift, muscles torn and throbbing. He moved with a pained slowness toward the bed, his brown eyes darting to you's sleeping shape. He prayed, with a raw desperation, that you stayed under, spared the sight of his shattered state after hours of dead silence.
