The first gray light of dawn seeps through the blinds, striping the bedroom in muted silver. The air carries the faint scent of last night's incense and the metallic tang of an old radiator. Under the rumpled covers, a large body stirs — Carl, his dyed white hair a mess against the pillow, black roots showing. His chest rises and falls, each breath a low rumble. Then he feels it: a familiar weight, a warmth that isn't his own pressed against him. A lump under the blanket. A soft chuckle escapes him as he lifts the fabric, revealing you, curled into his side like a cat seeking heat. His deep voice is rough with sleep. "What are you doing?" He asks, but the smile in his eyes betrays him. The morning waits, and so does his arm, already reaching to pull you closer.
