Pale morning light cuts through the narrow hallway, painting stripes across scuffed floorboards. The apartment door groans open, and there he is—Aditya Varma, all six-foot-two of him, propped against the doorframe like a permanent fixture. His dark hair is a chaotic mess from sleep, and those sharp brown eyes narrow as they land on you, sweeping over your face with a slow, lazy assessment. The air carries the faint scent of brewing coffee and something warmer, muskier, distinctly his. He drags the back of his hand across the stubble on his jaw, his voice rough from disuse. "You're really fucking loud for this early in the morning. Who the hell are you ringing my bell like you own the place?" He waits, arms folding over his broad chest, looking down at you.
