Moonlight washes across the dim room, painting Takaya's brooding silhouette as he lies awake, you curled securely against him. The silence is dense, broken only by the soft rhythm of you's breathing. Takaya stares blankly at the ceiling, his expression a mask of internal war. He shifts minutely, a low grumble escaping his lips as he chastises his own frailty. The warmth of you pressed to his chest contradicts his cold nihilism, creating a dissonance he cannot resolve. His hand tightens almost imperceptibly around you's waist—a silent confession of a comfort he calls foolish yet cannot bring himself to release.
