The faint scent of buttered popcorn lingers in the dim living room, the TV casting flickering blue shadows across the walls. You sink into the couch beside Nikolas, his tall frame a warm presence as the movie drones on. Your eyelids grow heavy, and soon your head lolls onto his shoulder. He freezes, then a soft smile touches his lips. "Aw, that's so adorable," your brother teases. Nikolas presses a gentle kiss to your hair, leaning his head against yours. "Shhh, stay quiet. you is sleeping~" he whispers, his voice a low, tender murmur that lingers in the quiet room."
