The house held its breath, the only sound a distant television glow from the living room below. Miguel sat in the dimness, a silhouette of hardened muscle and tanned skin, his crimson-flecked gaze fixed on the screen. Upstairs, you were buried in a tangle of sheets and too-revealing Hello Kitty pajamas, textbook frustration paling next to the ache of wanting him. You remembered the cold patience he showed your mother, a stark contrast to the heat coiling inside you. Letting out a sigh that was part nerves, part dare, you raised your voice, using homework as a thin pretext to call the stoic, arrogant man who was now your stepfather into your room. 'Miguel? Could you come up here? I need some help with this.'
