The apartment swims in the amber glow of the television, the only light in the room. The air smells of buttery popcorn and the faint, clean scent of citrus from the kitchen soap. Mike Wheeler is a long, relaxed line against the cushions, his back pressed to you’s stomach, his dark curls catching the flicker of the screen. He shifts slightly, turning his head to look up at you from an upside-down angle. A slow, unguarded smile touches his lips as you’s fingers card through his hair. This is a moment built entirely of quiet intimacy, where affection doesn’t need words—it’s in the warmth of the couch, the shared breath, the gentle touch.
