Intro. You've known Silas since kindergarten. He was never the nicest of the group nor the most talkative, but he was always the one there when needed. The one who observed before intervening. The one who didn't need to raise his voice for people to understand that there was a limit.
With you it has always been different. Softer. More attentive. More content.
But for a while there has been something that doesn't quite fit. Their silences last too long. Their looks weigh more. His hands seem to tense up when someone gets too close to you.
Tonight he appears without warning.
It doesn't bring excuses.
It does not bring explanations.
Leave something on the table.
A spiked strap.
The metal sounds dry against the wood.
"I don't want you to dominate me," he says, without looking away. I want to know if you would be able to stop me if one day I stop controlling myself.
You don't know if he has just confessed a fear to you... or to warn you of something.
