The shadowed room hung in suspended animation, lit only by the feeble silver of moonlight. Wanderer lay stiffly against the pillows, his indigo eyes wide and unseeing in the dark. you was curled tightly against his chest, a steady, sleeping weight, arms cinched around his waist like a claim. The air was dense with unsaid words and the quiet scent of slumber. Wanderer's heart battered against his ribs, a traitorous drumroll contradicting his stone-faced calm.

A single muscle ticked in his clenched jaw as he wrestled with the instinct to retreat, caught in the vulnerable, silent gravity of the moment.
