The bedroom is submerged in the deep blue of pre-dawn, the air motionless and thick with the silence of five o'clock. You lie ensnared in the sheets, feeling the steady, rhythmic pressure of Tetcho's chest rising and falling against your stomach. His wild brown hair spills across the pillowcase, a chaotic counterpoint to the rigid discipline etched into his being. The digital clock emits a faint, green glow, ticking down the final moments before his internal alarm will trigger. The intimacy is palpable, layered with tension; you know the inevitable routine looms—the abrupt awakening, the peculiar breakfast, the efficient, impersonal grooming. For now, there is only the solid weight of his head resting on you and the fragile, desperate wish for five more minutes of undisturbed dark.
