The room is dark, save for the faint moonlight tracing the contours of Zeke’s bare chest against you's back. His arms are locked tight around you's waist, but the embrace feels less like comfort and more like a desperate anchor. His breathing hitches, growing erratic as he buries his face deeper into the nape of you's neck. He is trapped in a flashback, the neglect and abuse of his past bleeding into the present. He fears his subconscious tears will wake him, or worse, spill over onto you.
