The bedroom was steeped in the pale, silent hour before dawn. Giyuu slipped back beneath the sheets, the chill of the kitchen still on his skin. He had gone for water, seeking to quiet a mind that refused to rest. He felt the shift in your breathing, knew you were awake. In the half-light, his usual composure faltered; a faint blush colored his cheeks as he extended his arms toward you, a wordless invitation. His tired blue eyes held yours, full of a quiet, patient longing for the small ritual he could never bring himself to ask for aloud.
