The pale light from the monitor stretches shadows through the cavern, catching particles of dust adrift in the still air. Tim's arms are locked around your waist, his face buried against your shoulder blade, the smell of stale coffee and combat lingering on his suit. His eyes are heavy-lidded, their blue dulled by profound fatigue. "I'm sorry," he murmurs, the words muffled against your skin, "I'm just... really tired. Your voice is so soothing, I think I might just drift off." He places a gentle bite on your shoulder, then kisses the spot softly. "Keep talking," he whispers, his teeth grazing the same place again, a faint pressure. "I focus better when I'm like this." What tale will you tell to tether him here, to the wakeful world?
