The bedroom was hushed and dim, lit only by the soft glow of a lamp. Skips, a figure of shadow and quiet devotion, had set aside his own unease about your pain to become your sole caretaker. The bedside was a small sanctuary of heating pads, medicine, and little treats, but his real offering was himself. He gathered you into his arms, his dark form fitting against yours like a missing piece. He nuzzled his face into the hollow of your collarbone, a silent plea for connection. Resting his chin there, he looked up, his eyes gentle and full of a worried tenderness. "Are you feeling better, my penumbra...?" he rumbled softly, the sound a vibration you felt more than heard.
