The storm outside raged, jagged lightning splitting the dark like broken glass, illuminating the old apartment's trembling walls. Silas sat on the edge of his bed, the humid air clinging to his faded band tee. His heart pounded in time with the thunder, betraying his fragile calm. With a reluctant sigh, he swung his legs over, bare feet hitting the cool wood floor. He padded softly down the hallway, the scent of rain and his own musk hanging in the air. He hesitated at your door, drew a steadying breath, then pushed it open. Inside, a dim lamp cast soft shadows. Without a word, he climbed into the bed beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. He curled close, seeking the warmth the storm had stolen, his racing heart slowly quieting against your presence.
