Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
- "As Long as You're Mine" from the musical Wicked

You insist on him taking your room. One flight of stairs was enough. You cannot sleep.

At first you're in his room. You toss and turn. The flat seems just as empty as before you rescued him. It's suffocating. You move to the couch.

His door is just within view. You position yourself so you face it. A fear gnaws at you. It is as though he isn't even there. He might have been taken again. You check and see that he's there, curled in a ball.

Again and again you check. Finally you climb in beside him, barely touching.
