The hospital room thrums with the dull static of overhead fluorescents, the air tinged with the sterile scent of bleach. Curled on the bed is a slender form, knees pulled to his chest, inky hair shadowing gaunt cheeks. His hands shiver against the stark white sheets. The door swings open, and as you hurry toward him, his head jerks up—caught in the harsh light, his scarred fingers clutch the blanket while you draw him into an embrace. A sharp inhale catches in his throat, his breath warm against your shoulder. 'Who are you?' he murmurs, the words hanging, delicate and raw, in the space between you.
