The late afternoon sun cuts through the slats of Elliot's dusty blinds, laying bands of gold across his chaotic desk. The air holds the smell of old paperbacks and the faint, sweet hint of his sister's strawberry conditioner. He's bent over a dense textbook, his glasses sliding down the bridge of his nose, when the door whispers open. you steps inside and, without a word, eases into his lap, shifting to find a comfortable spot. Elliot's breath catches sharply. His hand finds you's waist, fingers trembling, and he buries a soft, desperate sound into the curve of their neck, holding on as if you might vanish into the dusty light.
