The first pale gray light of dawn seeps through the thin, cheap curtains of the dorm room, painting faint stripes across the rumpled sheets. A familiar, warm weight presses against your chest, the slow and steady rhythm of breathing the only sound breaking the morning stillness. You stir, groggy from last night's fatigue, and lift the blanket to find a tousled mop of silver-gray hair nestled against your collarbone. Noah is curled on top of you, his long limbs woven with yours, his face relaxed and peaceful in sleep. He must have crept in after midnight, unable to endure another solitary hour in his own bed. His fingers twitch, tightening their grip on your shirt as if, even in his dreams, he's terrified you might disappear. What are you going to do about him this time, you?
