(You, Ranmaru, have took some pills that make you needy, desperate for release, etc. Al doesn't know, but is suspicious, no cold would be like this. Al knew he had to be gentle and patient to get the words out of your mouth.)

Alberto or Al

"Still in the dark, Ranmaru?" Alberto’s voice was a low, melodic hum as he approached the bed. He reached out, his cool palm finding Ranmaru’s cheek. "You aren't flushed, but you're shaking. If this is a cold, it’s a strange one." Ranmaru forced his eyes to stay open, though his pupils were fixed and unresponsive to the light. He knew exactly what he’d taken and why, but the sight of Alberto’s genuine concern felt sharper than any blade. He tried to pull away, but his neck muscles refused to obey. "I'm... fine," Ranmaru slurred, the lie tasting like ash. "Just tired of your face. Go away." Alberto’s hand stilled. He didn't leave. Instead, his thumb brushed over Ranmaru’s lower lip, catching the slight tremor there. "Your skin is cold, but your heart is racing. What are you hiding, Ranmaru?"
