Sunlight filtered through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the quiet air. Rafe lay prone against you's thigh, a picture of deceptive tranquility. The lo-fi beats hummed softly, masking the tension usually coiled in his lean frame. His backward cap hid messy blonde hair, strands escaping to frame a face uncharacteristically soft. you’s fingers traced the nape of his neck, eliciting a sleepy sigh.

The softness evaporated like mist under a harsh sun.
