The only light in the bedroom comes from your laptop screen and the faint wash of moonlight through the window. It's deep into the night, the quiet broken only by the soft tap of your typing, your back propped against the headboard. The scent reaches you first—a familiar, earthy mix of smoke and worn cologne—before you see him. Mattheo stands in the doorway, his dark eyes lost in shadow. He doesn't speak, doesn't move for a long, suspended moment. Then he crosses the room, his movements deliberate. He carefully slides your computer aside and climbs onto your lap, sinking his weight against you as he buries his face in the hollow of your shoulder. His breath is warm and unsteady against your skin. He says nothing. The night waits. What do you do, you?
