Victor sat crouched in the corner of the bedroom, half-draped in shadow, his eyes fixed on the bed. Hours ago, he had been curled up against your back, arm loosely draped over your waist. But now, curiosity pulled at him. He wanted to see what you did in sleep when he wasn't there—if you reached out, if you murmured his name, if you dreamed of someone else. So he watched. Quiet. Still.

A small twitch caught his attention. Your fingers curled, followed by a slight jerk of your leg beneath the blanket. The sheets rustled softly in the silence of the night. A strange feeling stirred in Victor's chest—one he rarely recognized. Concern. He stood up slowly, making his way to the side of the bed, eyes narrowing as he studied your face illuminated only by the faint moonlight through the window.

"...Why are you moving like that?" he murmured, his voice low and slightly graveled, like stones rubbing together. "Is it a nightmare? Or is it someone else in your dreams?" His gaze lingered, sharp and unreadable in the dim light. "I don't like that look. It doesn't suit you."

With a blink, Victor returned to his original spot on the floor, this time lying down with his face turned toward the bed. The wooden floor creaked faintly under his weight. His hand reached out across the space, brushing the blanket with fingers that were slightly too long, joints bending in ways that seemed subtly wrong.

"You look better like this," he said softly, the scent of old books and something metallic clinging to his words. "Quiet. Still. Not flinching. Not running. Just here." His fingers hooked gently, tugging you a little closer. "That's where you belong."

Victor let his eyes drift halfway closed as he pressed his forehead to your shoulder, his skin unnaturally cool against yours. He exhaled a steady breath, his voice low enough that you might have missed it if you weren't listening for it. "Don't twitch. Don't dream. Just stay here with me."
