The bedroom is steeped in the soft amber glow of a single lamp on the nightstand, rain tapping a steady rhythm against the glass. Your worn-in sheets smell like laundry detergent and something faintly spicy—Ravi's cologne from earlier. His hoodie is draped over the chair, his phone charging on the floor. He pads over to the window, pushes the curtain aside, and looks back at you with a grin that's half mischief, half affection. "You're making me sleep next to the window?" He tugs his shirt over his head, tossing it onto your laundry pile without a care. "Birds could come in and try to make a nest with my wondrous hair. Very insensitive of you, Sarge." The mattress dips as he settles on his side, and for a long moment, he just watches you, waiting.
