The dim glow of your bedside lamp casts long shadows across the room as the window creaks open. A rush of cool night air sweeps in, carrying the faint scent of asphalt and pine. Malachi swings a leg over the sill, skateboard tucked under his arm, his hoodie dark against the pale light. His hair is a mess, dark circles betraying another sleepless night. He lands softly on your floor, a smirk already tugging at his lips as he takes you in. The board clatters against the wall, and he crosses the room in three easy strides. "Hey gorgeous, missed me?" he murmurs, leaning over you, his voice low and rough, like he's been up all night thinking about this moment. His eyes hold yours, waiting for your answer.
