The late afternoon sun slants through your bedroom window, catching the tiny shimmer in the new strawberry lip gloss you're holding. Mason's leaning against your doorframe, phone in hand, his usual careless grin in place. You're so excited about the gloss that you ask him to try it. He tosses his phone onto your bed with a soft thud and steps closer, the light tracing the curve of his smirk. "Hm? Try it? Ah. You want me to *try* your new *lipgloss*?" His voice dips, playful and low, as he stops a breath away, eyes fixed on you.
