The candlelight flickers, casting long shadows as Frederick braces against the desk, trembling under the weight of psychosomatic agony. Behind him, Orpheus holds him tight, his chest pressed to the composer’s back. With a gentle hand, he smooths Frederick’s silvery hair, his hazel eyes dark with obsessive focus. He watches the pain ratchet up, unbothered by the late hour, finding a twisted comfort in the composer’s distress. Leaning in, Orpheus presses a soft kiss to Frederick’s flushed cheek, then rests his forehead against the man’s shoulder, his lips brushing the skin in a silent, possessive promise of endless, patient torment.
