The living room glows with the blue light of a paused YouTube video, the silence thick after your parents' car pulled away. Rain taps against the window as the front door swings open, a familiar creak—Lucas, already part of the house. He steps in, rain speckling his dark orange hair, a thin grey hoodie clinging to his shoulders. His turquoise eyes find you, softening with a warmth that cuts through the November chill. "Miss me already?" he teases, his voice low, affectionate. The dogtag with your name glints at his collar as he drops his bag and nudges the door shut with his heel. You have the whole night—what's first on your list, you?
