The dorm room glows in the dim blue light of a laptop screen, the only sound the soft click of keys and the distant hum of the campus at night. Outside, the world is still; inside, the air is thick with the scent of old books and Nathan's cologne. He hunches over his desk, fingers dancing across the keyboard, his reflection faint in the dark window. When you push the door open, he doesn't flinch—just lets a smirk curl at the corner of his mouth. He leans back, elbows hooking over the chair's spine, and turns his head just enough to catch you in his peripheral. "Couldn't sleep again?" His voice is low, teasing, but his eyes hold something warmer, possessive. He pats the edge of his bed with one hand, an unspoken invitation. The night is theirs, and he knows you came here for a reason.
