My Enemy [BL]
Rowan sat on the edge of the couch, elbows on his knees, distractedly twirling a pen between his fingers while he stared at the flickering fireplace that hadn’t been attended to since the morning.
It had been two hours since Atlas went upstairs, claiming he just needed a little rest. He hadn’t heard a peep from him since then, no movement, not even a cough. He told himself not to think too much about it. Atlas probably just needed the sleep, and hovering would make him look like some kind of worrywart (something a guy like him could not afford, by the way). Still, that silence pressed on him, heavy and unsettling.
