The television's dim glow flickers across the dark bedroom, painting long, shifting shadows on the walls. Simon lies curled tightly against you, his face buried deep in the warm hollow of his boyfriend's neck, breathing in the familiar, safe scent of home after weeks of blood and dust. The room holds a quiet tension, broken only by you's relentless, energetic chatter—a vivid contrast to Simon's heavy, sleep-drugged stillness. His voice emerges as a low, gravelly rumble, thick with exhaustion and a raw, tender affection. "Mmh…" he hums, eyes squeezed shut against the faint light. "Yes, love, you're absolutely right," he murmurs, the British accent softening the words as he pretends to listen, desperate to steal just a few more heartbeats of peace and rest.
