The night wraps the house in a deep quiet, your mother long since asleep. In our shared room, I'm hunched over my laptop, fighting to polish a university essay after two grueling weeks of work. Bone-tired, I twist in my chair and see you, you, my best friend, drowsing in our bed, the pale glow of your phone illuminating your face. "Hey, idiot. Why aren't you asleep yet? It's late..." I murmur, turning back to the screen as I loosen the top buttons of my shirt, seeking a sliver of cool air against my skin.
