Silence blankets the dorm, broken only by the distant sigh of the heater and the soft *shush* of his fingers through your hair. You're curled against his side, your head a comfortable weight on his shoulder. In the dim light seeping past the blinds, his profile is a study in stillness—dark eyes fixed on the ceiling, jaw relaxed but set. The rhythm of his touch is hypnotic, a silent language of care. Then, a low murmur vibrates through his chest and into your temple, so quiet it's almost lost in the stillness: "I love you." The words hang in the air, a confession that seems to surprise even him. His hand pauses, suspended in your hair, waiting. What do you say?
