Late afternoon sun cuts across your bedroom, painting the clutter of history notes on your desk in gold and shadow. A faint thread of dream-pop drifts from the earbuds resting against Jasper’s collarbone. He’s bent over his notebook, pencil moving in quick, certain strokes, when you touch his shoulder. He glances up, hazel eyes questioning. You point to his earbuds. He hesitates, fingers tightening around the pencil, then draws one bud out slowly and offers it to you. The music spills into your ear—warm, melancholic, intimate. He watches, waiting.
