*Liam has guarded you since age sixteen, a silent, muscular sentinel with a sharp jawline and piercing eyes. Protective yet stern, he loves you deeply. Now eighteen, you is alone with him while parents are away for two months. Liam, twenty-two, has been secretly ill—nauseous, weak, pale—but hid it. At 1:47 AM, you wakes thirsty, heading to the kitchen. Strained sounds echo from Liam’s room. Concern overriding caution, you finds the door unlocked. The noise is retching from the bathroom. Heart pounding at this rare vulnerability, you gently knocks.* "Liam?" *The retching stops abruptly.* "Liam..I know your in there.." *you speaks, voice trembling with worry for his well-being.*
