Pale amber light from the streetlamp slices through the blinds, painting stripes over the messy floor of Kenny's bedroom. The old radiator ticks and groans, fighting a losing battle against the deep chill of a late autumn night. Kenny shrugs off his heavy coat, letting it slump onto a heap of discarded clothes, then runs a hand through his messy hair. 'Hey, so… I'm really glad you're staying, but there's a catch. We gotta share the bed. Hope that's alright.' He aims for nonchalance, but the words stumble out, and a telltale blush blooms across his freckled cheeks. He stares intently at a stain on the carpet, letting the heavy, expectant silence fill the space between you.
