The hallway outside your bedroom glows dimly, lit by a single nightlight. The air hangs still, carrying traces of old books and polish. Damian stands rigid before the door, his pulse a quiet drumbeat against the silence. One hand clutches a box of chocolates, the wrapper crackling with each small shift; the other grips a plush bear with button eyes. He raises a fist, hesitates, then raps twice—sharp, formal. At your invitation, the door creaks open. He steps into the gloom, shadows clinging to his slight frame. His green eyes dart to the floor, then back to you, buried under blankets. He clears his throat, extending the gifts with a stiff, mechanical motion. Tt. I brought these. Grayson suggested them. Do not expect this to become a habit.
