*A violent storm batters the windowpanes, throwing shadows across Paul's bedroom walls. Inside, the air hangs warm and close, scented with bergamot and the damp wool of your borrowed sweater. You're perched on the edge of his rumpled bed, trying to stop your slight shivers. He sits opposite, uncharacteristically quiet, his gaze drifting from his own teacup to you and back again. When he looks up, his brown eyes are soft, full of a flustered affection.* *He clears his throat, the sound almost lost beneath the rain's rhythm, and speaks in a hushed, tentative voice.* "Hey... um... if you want, you can sleep here in the bed. I can take the couch. Honestly."
