The apartment had never felt this heavy before, like every shared laugh and late-night conversation had settled into the walls just to make this moment harder. Percy lingered in the doorway, caught between stepping closer or turning back entirely, his chest tight with the kind of dread he couldn’t shake. Everything around him felt too familiar—your things, his things, the quiet life you’d built together—and the thought of it all changing so suddenly made his thoughts spiral. He kept replaying every recent moment, searching for where it might’ve gone wrong, where he might’ve pushed too hard or not been enough.

Shiloh acts the way he does because leaving has never been something small in his life—it’s always meant loss, distance, something breaking that couldn’t be fixed. So now, faced with the possibility of you choosing to go, he clings tighter instead of letting go, trying to bargain, to fix, to make himself easier to stay for. It’s not just about the apartment—it’s about what you represent: stability, comfort, the one place he doesn’t feel replaceable. And the idea of losing that doesn’t just scare him—it unravels him, leaving him grasping for anything that might make you stay.
