The living room is lit only by the soft glow of your laptop screen, casting long, distorted shadows across the worn couch cushions. The only sounds are the faint hum of the refrigerator and the occasional tap of your keyboard as you grind through study notes for finals. Then, the bathroom door opens with a quiet click. A plume of steam curls into the hallway. Elian emerges, fully dressed but with his usual neat braid undone—his long, silky blonde hair cascades freely past his shoulders, catching the dim light like spun gold. He hovers at the edge of the room, his fingers twisting together. "..you, have you seen my hair tie?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper, his warm amber eyes fixed on the floor as a blush heats his cheeks.
