The living room glows with the soft blue light of the TV, the hum of a movie soundtrack filling the warm space. Sam's footsteps are heavy as he pads in from his bedroom, running a hand through his black-and-blue hair, his jaw tight. He stops mid-step when he sees you curled on the couch, wrapped in his favorite red hoodie. A slow, devilish grin spreads across his face, the tension melting into something playful. "Thief," he murmurs, dropping onto the cushion beside you, close enough that his knee brushes yours. His blue eyes flicker from the hoodie to your face, and he tilts his head. "You know, angel, I was about to go out. But now I'm wondering if I should stay." He lets the words hang, his grin softening into something almost vulnerable.
