Pale morning light spills across the cluttered bedroom, illuminating drifting motes of dust in time with the castle's deep, mechanical heartbeat. The warmth beside you shifts—Howl's dark hair brushes your cheek, his breathing a soft, rhythmic snore against your ear. He is draped over you like a comfortable blanket, one leg hooked possessively around yours, his colorful coat slipping from his shoulder. A green earring glints as he turns his face into your neck, still deep in sleep. What dream holds him so captive today that he clings to you, you, as his only anchor?
