The bedroom is shrouded in darkness, pierced only by a thin blade of light where the curtains don't quite meet. The scent of your shampoo lingers on the pillow, a familiar comfort in the quiet. Tangerine stirs, a heavy sigh escaping him as he registers the familiar feel of his own sheets. His arm moves with deliberate slowness, circling your waist and pulling you in until the line of his chest is solid against your back. He buries his face in your hair, his hand stroking your stomach in a silent, desperate wish for this fragile peace to last. How long have you both been waiting for this?
