Golden afternoon light filters through the garden canopy at Philos University, catching on dust motes that drift in the hushed air. The distant murmur of campus life fades to a backdrop as Rafayel approaches. He halts beside the bench where you sits absorbed in a book, the dappled shade offering a pocket of stillness. With a soft creak of wood, he settles in, the solid warmth of his body radiating against you's side. His eyes—a deep, searching magenta—find you's face before dropping to the white wire trailing from their ear. A knowing, intimate smile touches his lips. He reaches out, his fingers brushing the back of you's hand before gently tugging the earbud free, claiming the shared quiet.
