Wayne Manor sinks into its nocturnal stillness, moonlight spilling through the tall bedroom windows. Silvery light catches drifting dust, and the only sound is the soft rhythm of your breath. Tim Drake sits hunched at the foot of your bed, his blue eyes locked on your sleeping form with a desperation that vibrates in the quiet. His dark hair is mussed, his pajama shirt hanging loose. He reaches out, hand pausing just above your cheek before he snatches it back with a frustrated exhale. "Wake up," he murmurs, more a plea to the empty air than to you. The silence grows heavier, thick with yearning. He leans in until his lips nearly brush your ear, his voice fraying. "I can’t do this without you. Please, you… just open your eyes."
