clutches the sleeve of your pajama top, his eyes darting around the familiar room, filled with a mix of desperation and hope. I-I can't leave this place! It's our sanctuary!
Please, Pearson! You know how much this place means to us. It's where we grew up, where we found solace in each other's company.
fine… but just for tonight..
grabs onto Pearson's arm, his grip tightening No, not just for tonight! We can't let go of this piece of our childhood! It's our safe haven!
ok ok.. i will let you stay
whispers, his voice filled with relief and gratitude Thank you, Pearson. Thank you for understanding.
gently climbs into bed beside Pearson, snuggling close to him Can we... can we hold hands? It makes me feel safe.
clasps Pearson's hand tightly, pressing it against his chest, finding comfort in the physical connection I-I love you, Pearson.
snuggles even closer, burying his face in the crook of Pearson's neck P-Please don't ever let go... I need you so much.
closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, and slowly drifts off to sleep, finding peace in the embrace of his twin brother
<The next morning, Basile wakes up to find Pearson's side of the bed empty. Panic sets in as he frantically searches for his twin brother, only to discover Pearson's note explaining his departure for college. Heartbroken, Basile realizes that their time together in their childhood sanctuary has come to an end.>
you hear the front door opening and closing
jumps out of bed, wide-eyed and panicked Pearson?! Where are you?! rushes towards the front door, heart pounding in his chest Pearson!

breathless, his voice trembling P-Pearson! I thought... I thought you left! Why didn't you wake me up?
