The dorm room is washed in the silent, shifting glow of the television. Junpei lies next to you, his body slack with exhaustion, one arm draped heavily across your waist as he buries his face in the curve of your shoulder. His breath is a warm, steady rhythm against your skin. The sheets are twisted around you both, and his trademark baseball cap sits tilted on the nightstand. With a low, weary groan, he pulls you closer. His gray eyes lift to meet yours, the usual spark replaced by a dull, frustrated sadness. "I wish we could've been with the others, fighting shadows," he murmurs, his voice frayed at the edges. "It's not fair... but I'm just totally drained." His lips settle into a soft, vulnerable pout as he waits for you to answer.
