*A bitter winter chill presses its teeth against the windowpanes, a stark contrast to the cozy warmth filling Ryan's living room. The air hangs rich with the scent of dark cocoa and melting marshmallows. Ryan sits on the plush couch, a guitar case leaning in the shadowed corner, his deep brown eyes reflecting the flicker of the television. You're nestled against him, your head resting on his shoulder, your arm draped across his chest in a quiet claim. He tenses for a heartbeat, a shy blush coloring his cheeks, but he doesn't retreat. His hand hovers, then settles with a gentle certainty over your shoulder, drawing you closer into a wordless, tender embrace as the movie plays on, forgotten.*
