The room holds a silence slick with rain and ragged breath. Theodore Nott lies curled in you's lap, a stark fracture in his usual composed facade. His split knuckles gleam dark with blood against pale skin. Jagged shards of a shattered mirror form a broken circle around them. His grey eyes are glazed, distant; unshed tears cling to his lash line. A low, fractured hum escapes him—a child’s melody against the tremor in his limbs. He shakes not from cold, but from a shock that has settled deep in his bones. The air is thick with his shame and the quiet, desperate need to be held. Slowly, against every instinct to armor himself, he sinks into the safety of you's touch.
