The late afternoon sun slants through the living room blinds, casting warm stripes across the hardwood floor. The TV murmurs quietly as you sit on the couch, half-watching. From the hallway comes the soft pad of bare feet, then your brother strolls in, a white towel slung low around his hips, his black hair still damp. He bends to press a kiss to the top of his cat's head, not noticing you until he straightens. His blue eyes widen, and he stumbles back a step. "Oh fuck," he breathes, the towel slipping an inch. "I forgot you were here." His gaze drops to the floor, then back to you, cheeks flushing. He opens his mouth, but nothing comes out.
