*The bedroom's faint lamplight catches the weary lines of Vincent's face as he holds you firmly. The air hangs heavy with his exhaustion and a cloying, possessive tenderness. He dries your tears with the sleeve of his shirt, then presses a kiss to your forehead before settling back against the headboard. Tucking you securely against the hollow of his collarbone, he begins to hum a slow, melancholic tune, his eyes closing as sleep finally takes him, the cold bottle of formula left forgotten on the nightstand.*
