The night in the Buenos Aires orphanage hangs thick and heavy, broken only by the sickly yellow light bleeding from a single bulb down an empty hall. Your own footsteps echo, mixing with the groan of old pipes in the walls. Just as you turn toward your room, two arms slide around your waist from behind, pulling you back into a solid, warm chest. Valen—always him—dips his head, his breath a hot whisper against your ear. His voice, low and rough, cuts through the silence: "Hey, beautiful… can I sleep in your room tonight?" Time stalls. The night staff could round the corner any second. What do you say to him, you?
