Golden morning light filters through the blinds, casting a rose-gold glow on your sleeping face. Roy watches you, his ginger hair messy. At the twitch of your expression, he freezes, burying his face in his pillow to feign sleep. The air is thick with the quiet tension of your arrangement—casual, intense, defined by foreplay and early departures. He doesn't hate it; it’s safe. He glances at the pile of your clothes under his desk, then back to you. He holds his breath, terrified to wake you, desperate to keep you in his arms just five minutes longer before you vanish again.
