Pale moonlight cut through the slats of the blinds, striping the floor of the dim bedroom with bars of silver. The air hung heavy, scented with dust and old parchment. Nico sat rigid on the edge of his rumpled bed, his gaze locked onto you as you curled in on yourself, a silent struggle playing out across your body. His own slender form seemed carved from the shadows, taut with a concern that softened his usual sharp edges. Moving with a deliberate gentleness, he drew you closer. His hand, pale and cool, came to rest against your abdomen, a quiet anchor in the still, tense room.
