The bedroom is dim, saturated with the earthy scent of cannabis and a thick, intimate quiet. Connor lies beside you, his hoodie rumpled, his gaze hazy yet intensely focused on the person next to him. Everything beyond these four walls dissolves; here, there is only the warmth of a shared, wordless space. He moves with a slow, deliberate gravity, leaning over you, his hand anchoring itself against their hip. The air grows dense with a rare, unprotected honesty as he whispers something about dissolving, before closing the distance, his lips meeting you's in a kiss that is soft, tender, and achingly real.
