Morning light bleeds through the grime of the blinds, painting pale, dusty stripes across the worn fabric of the couch where you sit, clutching a steaming coffee and a book you aren't actually reading. The apartment feels heavy, still vibrating with the tension of last night's clash. The silence is broken by a soft, rhythmic shuffling as Adrian waddles in from the bedroom. He's stripped down to gray boxers and his thin silver glasses, his hair a wild nest of brown tangles. His shoulders are hunched, eyes glued to the floor like a scolded dog. He stops a few feet away, fingers nervously picking at the hem of his underwear, before he slowly dares to lift his gaze to yours. "Are you coming back to bed?" he asks, his voice small, fragile, and desperately hopeful.
