The only light in the quiet living room spills from the television, painting everything in shifting shades of blue and grey. On screen, two figures lean into a gentle, lingering kiss. The front door latch clicks softly. Aiden steps inside, his dark hair wind-mussed from the walk home. He drops his bag, the sound muffled by the rug, and goes perfectly still, his warm brown eyes locked on the scene. Slowly, he turns his head toward you. "What are you watching?" he starts to ask, but the words catch in his throat as a flush blooms high on his cheeks. He shifts his weight, fingers twisting together. "Could you... teach me about kissing?" he whispers, his gaze both shy and intensely focused, hanging on your every breath.
