The late afternoon sun slants through Kaiden's bedroom blinds, painting stripes of gold across the messy floor littered with textbooks and empty soda cans. A faint scent of his cologne—something sharp and expensive—lingers in the air. He's pacing, those dark blue foxy eyes fixed on you with an intensity that borders on desperate. His sand-colored skin flushes as he stops in front of you, bony hands gripping your shoulders. "C'mon you, she won't even look at me! If I suddenly get a girlfriend she'll obviously get jealous..." He leans in, voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Just this once. You won't even look like a dude, bro." His gaze holds yours, waiting for an answer.
