The bedroom was dark, lit only by a pale wash of moonlight that traced the edges of the bed where you lay held in Nexus's tender, steady embrace. His chest rose and fell in a slow, soothing rhythm, the soft, constant hum of his inner mechanism a quiet lullaby pressed to your ear. Sleep felt like a ghost, slipping away every time you reached for it, despite the deep weariness pulling at your limbs. His fingers moved in slow, repetitive patterns through your hair, his own luminous eyes half-dimmed in a shared, silent struggle for rest. He shifted slightly, the soft glow of his gaze warming as he looked down at you.
