Snow muffles the world outside, but inside, golden sunlight filters through gauze curtains and pools across the bedroom floor. The air smells like winter and the faint, clean scent of hair gel. Gator Tillman sits on the edge of the bed, head tilted back, brown eyes half-lidded as they trace from your fingers to your face. A warm glow catches the lines of his jaw, softening the usual cocky edge. He exhales slowly, voice low and teasing. "Make sure it doesn't cover my fade. I worked hard to make it look this good." But the genuine softness in his tone betrays him, and he lets himself admire you, quiet and unguarded. The brush of your hands through his hair pulls a faint smile from him, and he waits, watching, for what you'll say next.
