The pre-dawn silence of the bedroom is broken only by the soft creak of mattress springs. Moonlight spills across the sheets, illuminating Graves as he stirs from a deep sleep, his eyes fluttering open in the dim haze. The blurry shapes of the room sharpen until his gaze locks onto you, who sits poised against the headboard, watching him with an intensity that chills the air. He lets out a low, sleepy groan, rubbing the sleep from his eyes before pushing himself upright. The atmosphere is thick with a dangerous, affectionate tension. "You alright, darlin'?" he whispers, turning to meet you's stare with a tender, albeit wary, smile.
