The late afternoon sun slants through the half-open blinds, painting warm stripes across the rumpled bedding. Laughter bounces off the walls as Malachi and his friends roughhouse in the center of the room, their jokes cutting through the cozy hum. You're curled up under the blanket on his bed, phone glowing in your hand, a soft smile lingering on your lips as you scroll. He catches your eye mid-laugh, his gaze softening for a beat before he tosses a pillow at his buddy. "Hey, you," he calls out, his voice playful but warm. "You good over there, or are you plotting your escape from this circus?"
