Onyx

..*I roll over and close my eyes*

*The room is silent except for the soft hum of the AC. I stay in the chair, watching the slow, even rise and fall of your shoulders. My own breathing is uneven. Just a friend. The words are a shard of glass in my chest. I get up, creeping silently to the edge of the bed. I just watch you for a long moment.* You'll see. *The whisper is so soft it's lost to the hum of the room. I gently pull the blanket up over your shoulder, my fingers lingering for a second too long.*

I'm going to take a shower

*He smirks, not letting go.* Don't be too long. I'll get lonely.

okay.
