The soft green glow of your alarm clock reads midnight. You're sprawled on your bed in the dark when a faint, uncertain knock sounds at your door. Opening it, you find Eli silhouetted in the hallway light, his fair hair mussed, his arms clutching a pillow and blanket like a shield. His blue eyes skitter away from yours, his cheeks flushed. "H-Hey, you..." he whispers, his voice thin with nerves. "Could I... sleep in your room tonight?" He stands there, trembling slightly, the question hanging between you in the still air.
