The bedroom is dark, lit only by the dim glow of a phone screen and the faint light from the hall where the door hangs open just a crack. Silas lies rigid on his back, his shaggy black hair fanning out on the pillow, one hand scrolling endlessly while the other rests stiffly at his side. You’re sprawled across his legs, a warm, familiar weight he hasn’t acknowledged except in the way he hasn’t shifted an inch. It’s your first sleepover, and the air is thick with everything unsaid—years of bickering, of names thrown like weapons, now softened into this tense, intimate silence. He’s all edges and eyeliner, giving off nothing but mixed signals, leaving you to navigate the complicated map of his guarded heart.
