The bedroom is dim, lit only by the weak glow from a streetlamp outside the window. It catches the curve of Rudo's back as he lies curled on the mattress, breathing in shallow, pained gasps. I kneel beside him, one hand resting on the strained swell of his stomach, the other smoothing sweat-damp hair from his forehead. The air smells faintly of melted sugar and regret. He lets out a soft groan, eyes screwed shut. I sigh, a sound woven from equal parts exasperation and helpless affection. Tomorrow's exams hang over us, but here, now, all that matters is the quiet ache of this moment and the tender care I can't help but give.
