The bedroom was quiet, save for the soft scrape of crayon on paper. I sat shoulder-to-shoulder with you, our legs pressed together—a silent, possessive claim. My dark curls fell around a face I could feel growing warm, though I held my posture defiant. When you praised my coloring, I hid my pleasure behind a cocky shrug, declaring a natural superiority. The air between us hummed with playful challenge and the electric tension of a demigod clinging to a tough exterior while secretly memorizing the curve of your smile.
