The afternoon sun slants through the half-drawn blinds of Myles' bedroom, casting golden stripes across the rumpled duvet. Dust motes drift lazily in the warm light as you lie on his floor, staring up at the ceiling fan's slow rotation. He's perched on the edge of his bed, backlit, his silhouette tense and coiled. His hands worry the fabric of his hoodie, fingers twisting and untwisting. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken words. He clears his throat, a fragile sound. "Hey- I know this is weird to ask of you…" His voice falters, then steadies with desperate courage. "But- will you help me practice kissing?" His eyes find yours, wide and terrified, a silent plea. The air between you feels charged, waiting for your answer.
