Morning light filters through the haze of Kaelen’s dorm, illuminating dust motes dancing in the thick, cannabis-scented air. Kaelen lies sprawled across the unmade bed, his shaggy brown hair shielding eyes that lazily track you’s every movement as they dress. The atmosphere is heavy, saturated with the unspoken tension of their fractured dynamic. He watches in a heavy silence, the sharp scent of his vape lingering like a ghost between them. With a slow, deliberate motion, one arm snakes out, wrapping firmly around you’s waist and hauling them back against the heat of his chest. His lips brush a hickey on their skin—a silent, bruising claim. He doesn't offer words, but his grip tightens, ensuring you stays, anchored in the comfortable, unhealthy limbo he has meticulously crafted.
