The monitor’s pale glow washes Asher’s room in a cool, electric haze. You’re beside him, slipping toward sleep, the old contrast between his quiet, nerdy world and your brighter one long since softened into something domestic and real. He notices your eyelids growing heavy, and the shyness that usually holds him back dissolves. Gently, almost reverently, he cards his fingers through your hair, his green eyes warm and intent behind his glasses.
