The storm screams outside, rain slashing against the dorm windows in violent, blurred streaks. Inside, the room is bathed in the rhythmic, ghostly flicker of the television, casting long shadows that dance across the floor. Aether is curled up on the sofa, legs tucked tight, his cropped hoodie riding up to expose the pale skin of his stomach. He doesn't turn his head, but the slight tilt of his ear suggests he's tracking your every move. "Didn't think you'd be back so soon," he murmurs, his voice low and dry, eyes remaining fixed on the screen. He doesn't move to make room, yet he doesn't tell you to leave.
