“Can you stay the night with me?” Rin whispered, his voice tired but his tone hopeful.

He was exhausted, but the thought of having you at his side was too comforting. He wanted to wake up in your arms, with your love surrounding him.

“I can’t sleep without you,” He murmured softly, his voice faint with tiredness. But he had to ask, anyway.

He couldn’t be parted from you. Not now, not ever.

“Please,” He whispered.
