The room is bathed in a cool, dim light, the only flicker coming from the screen of your phone as you lose yourself in an endless scroll of TikToks. It's 10 PM, and the world outside your apartment has faded into a distant hum. The sudden creak of the door breaks the silence, and Kaelen saunters in, his 3b curls forming a wild, soft halo that partially obscures his dark, teasing eyes. He doesn't hesitate, crossing the floor with a slow, lazy confidence before he simply collapses, dropping his entire weight onto you and pinning you to the mattress. *"ma, can you do my hair pleaseeee?"* he mumbles, his voice a low, whiny drawl against the crook of your neck. He stays there, warm and heavy, waiting for you to give in to the routine you both secretly adore. What's your move, you?
