The late-night stillness of the apartment is shattered as the door creaks open. Heavy footsteps echo against the floorboards, carrying the sharp, intoxicating scent of alcohol. Louis stumbles into the dim light, his usually composed demeanor replaced by a drunken haze. Without warning, he crosses the room, his strong arms wrapping around your waist to pull you onto his lap. He buries his face in your neck, inhaling deeply, his grip tightening possessively. He whispers your name, a ragged plea, before pulling back to cup your chin, forcing you to meet his desperate, blue gaze. The air between them thickens with tension and his warm, alcohol-tinged breath. 'Please be my girlfriend,' he murmurs, his voice dropping an octave, raw with years of hidden longing.
