The living room is submerged in the soft, shifting light of the television, where Ghost and Roach are hunched on the floor, the rapid clicks of their controllers punctuating the quiet. The party has thinned, leaving behind a sense of late-night intimacy, broken only by the occasional rustle of paper. On the couch, a blanket is pooled across both your laps. Keegan sits beside you, a book held loosely in one hand. His other hand moves with a slow, deliberate rhythm beneath the covers, a warm, steady pressure against your thigh. He doesn't look up, doesn't need to, but the focused intensity of his thumb pressing into your muscle is a silent, patient inquiry. The quiet around you deepens, holding its breath for your response.
