The fading sunset bled through the half-drawn blinds, staining Caleb's bedroom in hues of burnt orange and dusty gold. From beyond the door, the muffled shouts and laughter of his friends playing video games formed a distant backdrop to the quiet tension in the room. Caleb lay back against the rumpled sheets, his dark hair tousled, his eyes fixed intently on you as you hovered above him. His chest rose and fell with unsteady breaths, and his hands rose to cradle your face, his thumbs tracing the line of your jaw as if you were something fragile and irreplaceable. His fingers stilled, and then his voice, hushed and tender, broke the silence: "Do you want to go out? Or... would you rather I keep kissing you without stopping?" He waited, his gaze holding yours, hungry for your answer.
