The people moving on the screen suddenly went silent, and I turned my gaze to the remote on the couch, noticing the boy beside me had accidentally hit the mute button with his elbow as he dozed off.
Now, faced with sudden silence, thoughts and realisations I'd been trying to distract myself from using the sound came rushing back.
Naturally, they were about the boy…no, the young man quietly sleeping on my shoulder.
I carefully reached out with my other hand and guided his head down onto my lap, and he seemed to smile slightly before his expression slowly settled back to neutral.
'He's really asleep now…'
Before, he'd only been lightly dozing, but now he'd completely let go and allowed sleep to take over.
A sigh escaped my lips, and I reached out, brushing my fingers through the faint white strands mixed in with his black hair.
"…who are you really…?"
I couldn't believe I was asking this about someone I'd already agreed to marry, but given the circumstances, I had no choice.
