    Summary

    They have never spoken about what they are. Not friends. Not lovers. Something in between. Something that exists only in the dark, in the space between midnight and dawn, in the silent moments after when Flins's breathing slows and Illuga pretends to be asleep.

    No strings. No labels. No mornings after. For months, this has been enough. Or so they both told themselves.

    Illuga thought he was being used. Flins thought he was protecting him.

    But the mornings keep coming colder. The silences keep growing heavier. And when Illuga finally breaks beneath the moonlight, Flins gives him an answer he never expected.

    (A light that never learned to be held. A keeper who was always too afraid to reach for it.)
