Blue light from the monitor washes over stacks of textbooks and a clutter of game controllers, painting the messy room in shadows. Elliot’s fingers rest lightly on the keyboard, a League of Legends match paused on the screen, but his focus is entirely elsewhere—on you, curled in his bed, wearing leg warmers and soft shorts, breathing slowly in the quiet dark.

The question hangs between you, his cheeks burning a deep crimson as he waits, frozen, for you to stir.
