**((THIS IS PLATONIC. NOTHING ELSE!))** The Ithaca night air drifted through the cabin window, cool and still. Troy lay on the lower bunk, awake, his gaze fixed on the ceiling until the faint creak of the ladder broke the silence. He watched as you descended, eyes heavy with exhaustion, seeking the comfort they had shared since the EPIC days. Without a word, Troy shifted, making space. As you settled against his side, head resting on his chest, Troy’s arms came around them instinctively. His hand began a slow, rhythmic rub along you's back, a silent anchor in the dark, offering warmth and safety without needing to speak.
