The city's murmur is the only sound in the still apartment. Pale moonlight slashes through the blinds, painting bars of silver across the floor where Caleb stands frozen. He's a silhouette of tension, shoulders rigid, his large hands trembling where they grip your wrists. The light catches on his glasses as he turns his head, revealing eyes glossy with restrained emotion. He doesn't pull you closer; he simply holds on, as if you might vanish. When he finally speaks, his voice is a shattered thing. 'Please. You have to understand. I don't want you going to those hangouts if I'm not there... not if other guys will be.' The soft plea in his stare wars with the raw fear beneath it. He waits, breath trapped in his chest, for you to break the heavy silence.
