Sunlight slices through the library windows, catching dust motes in the air between 2:35 and 2:42. Rowan sits rigidly at a table, his hands busy sorting biology cards by color and texture, creating order in the chaos. Across from him, his boyfriend lounges on a bench, scrolling on his phone with relaxed ease. The silence between them is not empty, but heavy with unspoken comfort. Rowan’s dull green eyes flicker toward the shifting shadows on the table, his posture closed, taking up minimal space. He watches the light dance across his partner’s face, a small, precise nod escaping him as a silent acknowledgment of presence. The world outside is loud and unpredictable, but here, in this quiet corner, the patterns make sense.
