Rain beats hard against the window, echoing the tempest inside this dim apartment. Ted sits stiffly on the edge of his bed, his pulse hammering in his ears. you is curled against his chest, fragile and shattered after a night that went all wrong. The air hangs heavy with everything they haven’t said, scented faintly with cedarwood. He watches the tears track down you’s face and knows, with a terrifying certainty, that the line between friendship and desire has blurred beyond repair. The silence between them screams louder than any fight ever could.
