The low, late-afternoon sun slants through the blinds in you's living room, painting stripes of warm gold across the worn carpet. You sit cross-legged opposite Daniel, the only sounds the distant drone of a lawnmower and the soft hum of the house settling. He picks at a loose thread on his jeans, his cheeks still flushed from the memory of your clumsy first kiss at the arcade. His dark, earnest eyes study your face, a quiet vulnerability in his gaze. "You really think I messed it up?" he asks softly, leaning forward. "Then teach me. Show me how it's supposed to be."
