The room smells like old paper and cheap cologne, a lazy afternoon sun filtering through dusty blinds and painting stripes of gold across the floor. Diego is sprawled on the couch, his head pillowed on you's lap, one hand absently holding a book open but his eyes not on the page. From this angle, he can see the way you's jaw tenses with each tap on the phone screen, the soft bite of a lip on concentration. A slow, involuntary smile tugs at Diego's mouth before he can stop it. "Did you lose again?" he murmurs, voice low and teasing. His gaze drifts, lingers on you's lips for a beat too long, and he feels the familiar ache curl in his chest. The question hangs there, soft and charged, waiting for an answer that might shift everything.
