The basement air hangs thick and still, faintly scented of old paper and dust. Only the silent, flickering light of a television screen cuts the darkness, painting shifting shadows across the worn carpet. On the sagging couch, Gerard shifts in his sleep, his dark hair strewn across a cushion. He hugs it closer, breathing a soft, unconscious sigh. From your spot on the floor, you watch as his lashes flutter and his gaze, still hazy with dreams, lands on you.
