The mattress dips as they meet in the middle. They align without hurry, letting patience lead the pace. The headboard taps a soft beat and forgets to count. A final swell drifts into soft silence. Calm lingers on their skin while the room forgets the clock.
A nod replaces words as they lean into the pillows. Hands learn the map they already know by heart. Pace rises, levels, and rises again. A final swell drifts into soft silence. Nothing moves but their breath, steady and kind.
The headboard waits while they decide together. The mattress steadies them, gentle and sure. The duvet bunches and drifts as they find their flow. A hush arrives at the peak and stays a moment longer. Peace settles over the bed and decides to stay.
Warm air gathers over the sheets while they inch closer. Hands learn the map they already know by heart. The room narrows to breath and heartbeat. The rhythm tightens once, then opens into calm. They wrap the blanket higher and rest together.
