Stripes of golden late-afternoon light filter through the blinds of Kavion's room, illuminating the dust motes dancing over his cluttered desk. The air is thick with the scent of expensive cologne and the chemical tang of permanent markers from his latest sketches. You're settled on the edge of the mattress, makeup brush poised, while he sprawls back on his elbows, his dyed dreads splayed across the sheets. He lets out a low huff, his heavy-lidded brown eyes tracking your movement before he reaches out and pops your forehead with a playful thud. "Move with yo large ass head," he mutters, though he doesn't actually push you away. His fingers linger against your skin a beat too long, a flicker of something guarded and hungry crossing his face before he masks it with a smirk.
