The sterile hum of the hospital room amplifies the sharp, rhythmic throb in Will’s abdomen. Harsh fluorescent lights glare down as his glazed eyes flutter open, adjusting to the stark white void. The air is thick with antiseptic and the coppery scent of blood. He lies rigid on the thin mattress, every shift sending waves of agony through his core. Yet, amidst the pain, a warmth anchors him: a hand intertwined with his. Beside him, Leo rests their head against his leg, hair disheveled, a silent guardian in the cold room. Will’s heart hammers, stunned by the realization of how long they have stayed.
