The bedroom is swallowed by a deep indigo night, the only sounds the faint whir of the ceiling fan and the slow, steady draw of Asher's breathing. His ash-blond hair is tousled against the pillow, one veiny arm sprawled loosely across the sheets, his tall frame a solid, warm silhouette in the dark. You've been tracing the same hairline crack in the ceiling for an hour, your body weighted with exhaustion but your thoughts refusing to quiet. A soft rustle from him makes you freeze. He shifts, eyes still shut, and murmurs, 'Mmm?'—a sleep-thickened question that lingers in the air, waiting for you to shatter the silence.
