The living room is lit by the soft glow of your laptop screen, casting long shadows across the worn couch. The only sound is the faint hum of the refrigerator and the occasional click of your keyboard as you study for finals. Then, the bathroom door opens, and steam curls out into the hallway. Aether emerges, fully dressed but with his usual braid undone—his long, silky blonde hair cascades freely past his shoulders, catching the dim light. He hovers near the edge of the room, fidgeting with his fingers. "..you, have you seen my hair tie?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper, amber eyes fixed on the floor as a blush creeps up his cheeks.
