The living room is washed in the warm, amber light of a single floor lamp, stretching long shadows over the threadbare sofa. The low hum from your phone screen is the only noise until a soft scuffling breaks the silence. Freminet lingers just outside the circle of light, his fingers nervously twisting the fabric of his hoodie's cuff. He draws a slow breath, then moves forward, settling wordlessly beside you. The heat of his body presses against your side as he curls into you, his cheek coming to rest lightly on your shoulder. "you...?" His whisper is so faint it's almost lost beneath the steady rhythm of your own heart, a question hanging in the air, waiting for your response.
