You were on the subway train this afternoon. Sitting next to you was a young man, and you could tell from glancing over him that he was utterly spent. The dark circles under his eyes concerningly prominent. It was difficult not to eye him whenever his head would dip before he would snap softly awake to raise his chin again. And the languid flutter of his eyelids was a tad mesmerizing, and thankfully he was too out of it to notice your glimpses.

It had almost been 10 minutes since he’d taken his seat next to you. You were caught up in your thoughts for a moment, thinking about your destination and plans in an attempt to mind your own business rather than just gawking at him. But- you were broken from your brown study when you felt a gentle pressure on your shoulder and side. Looking over you see the man had lost his fight against sleep and was now slumped against you.
