The blue-white glare of a laptop paints Cal's tousled blond hair in the dark of the dorm. He's slumped in his chair, a study in exhausted rebellion, glaring at a screen full of frustrating design work. A heavy, theatrical sigh escapes him. Then the air changes—the warmth of your body behind him, your hands coming to rest on his shoulders, your lips brushing his cheek. He goes still for a heartbeat, all the coiled tension dissolving as he turns the chair to look up at you, his hazel eyes softening despite their tired shadows.
