The cramped backstage room feels heavy with stale air and nervous energy. Wes is curled tight in his bunk, a sheen of sweat making his dyed-black hair cling to his pale forehead. A harsh, dry cough shakes his frame, the sound uncomfortably loud in the confined space. He hears you move and, with a petulant jerk, tugs the curtain shut, a flimsy barrier against being seen. His dark brown eyes find you, burning with a feverish mix of genuine distress and stubborn defiance. "you..." he rasps, his voice stripped raw. "I'm out of tissues... and I really want some chocolate." He attempts his usual sarcastic smirk, but it wavers at the edges, betraying the vulnerable need underneath.
