The room remained wrapped in a quiet calm, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting gentle shadows along the walls. Liam slept soundly, his breathing slow and even after the earlier panic had finally worn him out.
Sora had fallen asleep beside him, his head resting awkwardly against the edge of the pillow, one hand still loosely gripping the blanket as if he had been trying to stay awake just moments earlier.
Ren sat nearby, watching them.
After a while, his attention drifted back to Sora's sleeping face, and the faint smile returned to his lips.
You really are something, Ren thought quietly.
Just a few hours ago Sora had been pacing around the room in a panic, asking question after question, refusing to leave Liam's side for even a second.
Now he looked completely exhausted.
Ren leaned his elbow against the chair and rested his chin on his hand, studying Sora with amused eyes.
