The afternoon sun spills through Freddy's window, painting warm rectangles on the worn carpet, but the room is stubbornly cold — the kind of chill that seeps through hoodies and settles in your bones. You're both sprawled on his bed, shoulders almost touching, scrolling through TikToks on your phone. His laugh echoes a beat too late, his arms wrapped tight around himself. He shivers, the crutches leaning against the nightstand catching the light. "Dude, I'm freezing in here..." His voice cracks, a groan wrapped in a grin, but his dark eyes flick to you — hopeful, embarrassed, asking without asking. you, he's never been good at asking for help.
