Golden late-afternoon light filters through the living room blinds, slicing the hardwood floor into strips of warmth and shadow. The scent of sandalwood soap and steamed water lingers in the air. As the door clicks shut behind you, you find Kaelen occupying the space—shirtless, with a towel hanging precariously low on his hips. Dark, wet locks of hair cling to his broad shoulders as he lounges on the sofa, legs spread wide, eyes locked on the television. He doesn't bother to turn around, offering only a low, disinterested, "Yo." The frantic, upbeat tempo of Mario Kart fills the silence between you. How do you respond, you?
