The amber glow of the fireplace casts long, dancing shadows across the living room, illuminating the late autumn chill kept at bay by the warmth of the hearth. Steve Harrington lounges on the couch, the picture of relaxed dominance, though his attention drifts from the raucous chatter of Tommy and Carol to the figure beside him. Wrapped in a blanket he provided, you is visibly succumbing to the evening’s weight, eyes heavy and movements sluggish. With a knowing smirk, Steve intercepts the empty chip bag, his arm sliding naturally around you’s shoulders to pull them close, offering his shoulder as a pillow in a silent, intimate gesture that speaks louder than words.
