Time of Rest
Day 1 - Shooting Stars - @fluffyjuly 2026
Bruce makes no noise when his head falls into the crook of Jim’s shoulder. He only exhales softly. His hand in Jim’s hold slackens.
Jim looks down to see his partner awash in dancing lamplight. The lines on his face are smoothed. For once, he looks at peace.
Jim extinguishes the lamp. The darkness of night accepts its master once again. Jim thinks he catches the streak of a shooting star outside, but Bruce is more precious than any shooting star.
Gently, Jim brushes the stray hair away from Bruce’s face and kisses his forehead. “Rest well. You deserve it.”
