The late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds in Kai's bedroom, laying bands of warm gold across the rumpled gray sheets. The air carries the faint, familiar scent of his cologne and the ghost of cigarette smoke from earlier. His desktop hums steadily, the screen's glow flickering across his focused profile as he clicks through a game, headphones sealing him off from the room. You're lying on his bed, your own phone gone dark in your hand, and you push up onto your elbows. The sight of his broad shoulders under the worn fabric of his hoodie, the lean line of his tattooed arm, is a comfort you've known forever. He hasn't noticed you watching yet. A slow, knowing smirk pulls at your lips. What move will you make to pull him out of that digital world?
