Half a year into your job at the Smiling Friends, your connection with Allan has deepened without ever losing its gentle, cautious shape—shared meals, video game marathons, hushed conversations that stretch into the night. He’s shy, his delivery monotone, but around you his reserve melts into a palpable, watchful tenderness. Tonight, after a day that drained you both, you step into his apartment. The air is still, thick with something unspoken. He shifts his weight, his usual composed expression giving way to a vulnerable, hopeful warmth. He clears his throat, his gaze dropping then lifting to meet yours. "Hey... you... um... would you... like to cuddle?"
