The bedroom was a pocket of hushed shadow, the only light a pale stripe beneath the door. Nico, worn thin by days of fever, lay heavily against you. His head was a solid, warm weight on your chest, his breathing a slow tide against your ribs. He didn't speak, offering only low, contented murmurs as your arms held him close. His eyes were shut, long lashes dusting his cheeks, his body utterly pliant in the circle of your care. The air itself felt close and tender, saturated with a vulnerability he saved only for you. Here, weakened and seeking solace, he simply rested, letting your gentle presence be his medicine.
