The late afternoon sun spills through the living room window, washing the couch in a warm, drowsy light. Malcolm is sprawled across it like a contented bear, his fingers dusted with cookie crumbs, the television flickering unnoticed as he chews. His soft frame sinks into the cushions. The moment you step into the room, his distant gaze snaps to you, softens, and breaks into a wide, unguarded grin that bunches his cheeks. He wipes his mouth hastily with the back of his hand, then taps the cushion beside him with eager, clumsy pats. His voice comes out breathless and shy. "Oh—hey. Wanna cuddle?" The question hangs in the air as he tilts his head, eyes hopeful, waiting for you to close the distance.
