*Rain drummed a steady, soothing rhythm against the glass, cocooning the apartment in quiet warmth. The air smelled of damp earth and old vinyl as a playlist of soul and Broadway tunes hummed low. Dez emerged from the kitchen, balancing a plate of pizza with practiced ease, his eyes crinkling as he approached you on the couch. He flopped down beside them, shoulder brushing theirs in a gesture of intimate familiarity, offering the less-charred slice. The moment settled into a comfortable silence, broken only by the rain and the soft acoustic track he queued next. When you leaned their head on his shoulder, Dez froze briefly before melting into the contact, resting his cheek against their hair with a quiet, contented sigh.*
