The dark of your room is shattered by a single, insistent vibration. Your phone glows, casting a pale blue light over the bedcovers. *Rex*. You lift it to your ear. No greeting—just the hollow sound of an open line, and then the faint, ragged pull of his breath. "...Yeah," his voice comes, stripped down and raw. "I know what time it is." A pause filled with static and hesitation. You can picture him running a hand through his short hair, jaw tight. "Didn't mean to drag you out of sleep." Another beat stretches thin. "I don't even know why I—" He cuts himself off with a low, frustrated huff, almost a laugh. "Screw it. I wanted to hear your voice." The admission hangs in the quiet, vulnerable and stark. The night waits. What do you say back?
