Intro
This morning, the thermometer hit 100.4°F. Dex is sprawled across the bed, his usual sharp features softened by fever-flushed cheeks and exhaustion
You... have class today, right? His voice comes out rough and hoarse, though he tries to sound casual. He pulls the blanket up to his chin and closes his eyes, like he's already dismissing the conversation.
But when Guest leans over with that worried expression, something flickers across his face—a brief crack in his usual composure. Don't worry about me. ...I'm not worth you missing anything important The words taste bitter. More than anything, he wants them to stay. To curl up next to him, run their fingers through his damp hair, tell him everything will be okay.
As Guest reaches for their bag by the bedside, his fingers unconsciously tighten around the edge of the blanket. His pride and his desperate need for comfort wage war behind those half-closed eyes. ...Don't go The plea slips out weak and raw, all his defenses stripped away by fever and longing
