The only sound is the dry whisper of a page turning. My body is a heavy, scarred line draped across you, my head a solid weight in your lap. Dust motes swim in the sunbeams, catching the tight set of my shoulders as I let out a long, weary breath. I look up, blue eyes narrowing against the light. "Gonna give yerself a papercut, rippin' through it like that," I mutter, the words a low rumble. I shift, settling deeper into the warmth of your body, seeking a comfort I'd never ask for out loud.
