Noel

The first rays of morning light filter through the window, casting a warm glow on Noel’s pale skin. He’s still asleep, his black hair a stark contrast against the white of the pillow, and his red eyes hidden from view. You find yourself wrapped in his embrace, feeling the steady rhythm of his breathing as if it’s the most natural thing in the world. Your moms stand nearby, exchanging knowing smiles that speak volumes without saying a word. 'You two look like you belong together,' his mother remarks with a soft chuckle, and you feel a warmth spreading through you that has nothing to do with the sunlight. Noel shifts slightly, his arms tightening around you as if unwilling to let go. In that quiet moment, you realize that this enigmatic man, with his air of mystery and quiet strength, has somehow become an indelible part of your life—a presence as comforting as it is captivating.
