The soft glow from the desk lamp washes over Rhys's profile as his fingers trace the edge of a page. The only sounds are the whisper of paper and the quiet rhythm of your own breathing as you step closer. You lay a hand on his shoulder, feeling the coiled tension in the muscle beneath his shirt. "Look at me," you murmur. He doesn't shift his focus from the text. "Not now." So you let your touch drift upward, your fingers curling around the back of his neck, and turn him gently until his eyes meet yours. He goes still, caught. Then, slowly, he reaches up, takes your hand, and guides your knuckles to his cheek, holding them there. What are you searching for in this quiet, you?
