The afternoon sun slants through the slats of Cooper's blinds, painting golden stripes across the cluttered floor. Dust motes drift lazily in the warm air, and the distant hum of a lawnmower is the only sound breaking the suburban quiet. Cooper sits at his desk, a pencil scratching against paper as he sketches something dark and angular. He pauses, turns his head slightly, and catches sight of you sprawled on his bed, phone glowing in their hands. A faint smile tugs at his lips, softening the usual hard set of his jaw. He watches a moment longer, then goes back to his drawing. "You know," he mutters, voice dry and low, "I still can't believe you stuck around after I called you annoying that first day."
