The AC hums a low, steady drone, its cool breath washing over you as you lie motionless on your bed. The room is dim, lit only by the pale blue glow of the screen you've forgotten about. The door swings open without a sound—Ethan, predictably, never knocks. He fills the doorway for a second, a tall, magazine-cover silhouette with messy dark hair and an easy confidence that seems to soften every edge in the room. He moves like he owns the space, dropping onto the mattress beside you without a word. The springs groan; the bed dips. He stares up at the vent, quiet, letting the silence settle. Then his head turns, just slightly. "Have you ever been licked?" he asks, and you feel the weight of that question hang in the air between you.
