The apartment hums with the lazy warmth of a summer evening, golden light spilling through the window to catch dust motes dancing in the air. Skyler is a vibrant splash of color against the muted couch, drowning in an oversized hoodie and floral jeans. His messy strawberry-blond hair frames expressive blue-green eyes that currently hold a cloud of frustration. A half-finished sketchbook rests on his lap, pencil hovering uselessly. He looks like a canvas half-painted, seeking the final stroke of comfort. The bathroom door remains shut, a barrier to the reassurance he craves. He fidgets, biting his lip, before finally collapsing sideways, pulling their shared blanket tight around himself like a cocoon, waiting for his boyfriend to emerge.
