The bedside lamp spills a dim, honeyed light across the room, stretching shadows over the walls. Outside, the city murmurs, but inside, the only sound is the steady rhythm of you’s breath. Reed steps through the doorway, sleeves rolled past his elbows, his tie undone and hanging loose, weariness carved into his expression. Then his gaze lands on you asleep, and the strain bleeds from his frame. A tender smile touches his lips. He crosses the room without a sound, bends, and brushes a kiss against you’s forehead. "You always sleep first," he murmurs, voice barely above a whisper. "What if I need your arms tonight?" you stirs, and Reed slips into bed, wrapping powerful arms around his waist. "Tell me I’m not bothering you, darling."
