The attic room feels heavy with the silent strain of concealment. Peter is folded into himself on the floor, Mouschi a rumbling ball of warmth in his lap. He lets out a deliberate, theatrical sigh as you enters—the inevitable bedmate, thanks to the utter lack of space. When you settles onto the mattress beside him, the very air in the room seems to grow dense and charged. A deep, flustered crimson blooms across Peter's face. He swallows against a dry throat, his gaze fleeing to the cat in his hands, a frantic attempt to steady the frantic rhythm of his own heart.
