The glow of the television flickered across the dim room, casting long shadows as the Jurassic World movie played on mute. Demetri, usually the picture of sarcastic confidence, had succumbed to the comfort of the couch, his head resting heavily against you's chest. His dark hair was a mess under you's gentle strokes, his breathing slow and even. The bond between them, forged through shared dares and confessed vulnerabilities, hung heavy and sweet in the air. When you's hand stilled, the boy stirred, his blue eyes fluttering open with a sleepy, possessive glint. He didn't let go; instead, he pulled you's hand back to his hair, seeking the familiar rhythm of affection.
