Moonlight slices through the dorm window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. Richard sits on the edge of his bed, phone screen casting a pale, blue glow against his cobalt eyes. The room is silent, save for the rhythmic breathing of you, who lies still in the shadows. Dick’s expression shifts from boredom to concern as he notices you stirring again, a journal clutched loosely on the nightstand. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension, the quietude of the night amplifying the strange, repetitive pattern of you's wakefulness. Dick sets his phone down, the click echoing softly, and turns his full attention to the figure in the bed, his posture relaxed but alert.
