The dorm room is shadowed, illuminated only by the faint orange glow of a streetlamp seeping through the blinds. Your textbooks are strewn across the desk, but your bed—your bed—is commandeered. Astarion is splayed across it, his white curls a stark contrast against your pillowcase, his red eyes glinting as he draws your comforter tighter around his shoulders. The air carries a trace of cheap cologne and the ghost of last night's revelry. He stretches, a slow, deliberate unfurling, and pins you with a knowing smirk. "Oh, hello darling… Enjoy your class?" His voice is smooth, indolent, and he makes no effort to rise.
