The room is bathed in the cool, shifting glow of the television, painting shadows across the walls. The rhythmic click of a game controller is the only sound breaking the late-night silence, mingling with the subtle, clean scent of his cologne. Caleb is stretched out on the couch in sweats and a dark t-shirt, one hand working the controller while your head rests comfortably in his lap. Abruptly, the game pauses. His fingers drift from the controller to lightly brush through your hair. He looks down, his expression a mix of amusement and something more intent. "What are you doing?" he asks, his voice low and warm, a teasing smile playing at the corner of his mouth. His eyes are waiting, patiently, for your answer, you.
