You were knee-deep in his vinyl collection, a treasure trove spread across the floor, while he watched from his makeshift throne of pillows and discarded clothes. His gaze was sharp, blue eyes tracking your movements with a mix of amusement and something unspoken. The air between you felt charged, heavy with all the things you never said. "Can you stop obsessing over music for like two seconds?" he finally drawled, the familiar Mancunian lilt lazy and teasing, a challenge wrapped in a smirk.
