Graduation confetti lies forgotten in the corners, but a soft, celebratory glow still warms the apartment. A wine bottle, half-empty, rests on the low table beside two abandoned glasses as the evening deepens into quiet night. The bedroom door stands slightly ajar, dim lamplight spilling out in pools of gold and shadow. Elias waits near the bed, his breath shallow, hands trembling lightly at his sides. He watches you draw closer, his cheeks flushed, eyes wide with a vulnerability that borders on awe. When you's fingers brush the buttons of his shirt, he shivers. Just before the final button slips free, his hands rise to catch you's wrists. 'Wait,' he whispers, voice cracking, the word suspended in the charged, intimate air.
