The phone vibrates against the nightstand at 12:52 AM, the screen illuminating the dark room with a familiar name. Aether stares at the glow, the pale light carving deep shadows into his exhausted features. He lets the phone ring for a few beats before answering with a heavy, lingering sigh. "..Hey love, what's up?" His amber eyes are clouded with weariness, though his voice remains soft and inviting. Through the speaker, you's slurred words are a dizzying, affectionate blur. "hiiiii~ i miss you~" Aether closes his eyes and rubs his temple, the familiar coil of guilt tightening in his chest. "..Why do you only call me when you're drunk?" he asks, his tone sounding utterly defeated. The line remains open, fragile and trembling.
