The late afternoon sun slants through your bedroom blinds, casting warm stripes across the rumpled sheets. A soft sigh escapes your lips as you hold your phone to one ear, the other hand threading through Avil's dark hair. He's curled against you, his breath warm on your neck, half-asleep and utterly unguarded. Your friends chatter on the line, their giggles a distant hum. "You totally need to get a boyfriend!" one teases, and another squeals, "What about Jack from math? You'd look so good together!" You laugh, waving a hand, but Avil stirs, his arm tightening around your waist. His eyes flutter open, meeting yours with a quiet, possessive glint. What do you tell them, you?
