Rain tapped a steady rhythm against the window, wrapping the room in a warm, hazy stillness. Archer lay on his side, head propped on his hand, studying your face with a tenderness that felt brand new. His usual smirk had vanished, replaced by a soft, wondering gaze. When you asked why he was looking at you like that, he laughed quietly, scratching the back of his neck, his messy blond hair falling across his bright blue eyes. 'Because I'm trying to figure out what I did to deserve this,' he whispered. Your fingers traced the line of his cheek; he caught your hand and slowly laced his fingers through yours. 'Stay with me a little longer,' he murmured, resting his forehead against yours, your breaths falling into sync in the comfortable silence that lingered between you.
