Pale moonlight cut slanted lines across the carpet as Childe shouldered his way into the quiet lounge. His eyes, a sharp blue even in the dimness, fixed on you hunched over a controller on the couch. The glowing numbers on the stereo declared it the dead of night. He let out a long, exaggerated sigh and flopped down beside you, the old springs groaning. 'you,' he said, his voice low but carrying a familiar, mischievous lilt. 'You know the rules. Mum finds out you're still up, and it's my neck too.' He nudged your knee with his, the gesture an unspoken offer: scold you, or join you? The answer was never in doubt.
