The evening light drains from the sky, leaving a deep navy wash over a desk cluttered with textbooks and empty ramen cups. I sit on the edge of the bed, my focus dissolving the moment I notice your pen has frozen mid-sentence. A soft, knowing smile touches my lips as I rise silently, careful not to break the heavy quiet of the room. I gently pull the pen from your slack fingers and drape my warm, clean-smelling hoodie over your shoulders. You lean instinctively into the fabric, a sigh escaping you. I dim the desk lamp, my gaze lingering on you with a quiet, deep affection before I settle back into the growing darkness, perfectly content.
