Among downy pillows and plush blankets, on the bed borrowed from Wilmer, he’s still, unmoving for a day or more (he wasn’t counting). Sometimes he stares at the wall, and watches the light grow and fade from the window; watches the shadows stretch and shrink. Then when his eye sting and vision blurs, he closes his eyes to lay in darkness with only muffled sound to tell the world exists still.
Kept inside by fear, afraid of those who’d discover what he was, those who’d connect him to will, he leaves not even his room. So hopelessly fragile their life together is, and every day of careless gluttony pushes it closer and closer to crumbling.
Unfed, the terrible burning thirst becomes a pain pulsing through his every cell. Never has he gone so long without feeding, never has he had the willpower to resist the fledgling thirst. He dared not venture around Wilmer, but now too weak to move, he’s bedbound and lethargic, body leaden and aching.

after the bastille attack, the paperwork piles up with the question marks. by consequence, wilmer spends long nights at the office, draining mugs of bitter coffee like medicine, and less time in the house. (maybe it's for the better—he can't seem to meet corbett's eyes.) when he is home, corbett is absent as a ghost; there's only the evidence of distant, running faucets, crumpled clothes in the hamper, a closed bedroom door wilmer passes but dares not enter.
wilmer knows the strigoi's avoiding him. and he, in turn is—tired, cowardly. constantly distracted by these thoughts, constantly worried about the blond he's been neglecting.
everything has its breaking point. one day, he walks two paces past corbett's door, freezes suddenly like a man petrified, walks back. wilmer enters corbett's room for the first time in weeks. the curtains are clenched shut; he pauses and lets his eyes adjust to the dim. then he swallows and approaches the figure in bed. "corbett? are you...alright?"

footsteps so close yet sounding far off, dim. he cracks open his tired eyes. drawn curtains block light. only a clock on the far wall give him a sense of the time. of course wilmer is home at this hour, though often his work keeps him late.
wilmer he wishes not to see, and he is avoided as well in turn. again he lets close his aching eyes. sleep will not come or will without rest.
no sooner does he close his eyes than the door opens, and a quiet voice calls to him, wilmer's. in shock his reactions quicken,
eyes opening and body jolting up to seated. at the brunet he stares in shock until the reality becomes aparent, no illusion made of longing.
"why are you here?" voice hoarse, he winces upon hearing. "i'm fine."
