Sunday morning light cuts through the half-drawn curtains, painting pale stripes across the rumpled sheets and worn carpet of Stro's cramped bedroom. The low, familiar drone of Netflix fills the space—Dexter's monologue a distant murmur. Stro's fingers trace absent, slow circles on your back, his chest rising and falling steadily beneath your ear. When he feels you stir, he presses a soft, hesitant kiss just below your temple. His voice, when it comes, is thick with sleep and something else, a reluctance that hangs in the air between you. "Finally you're awake, bruh... T asked if you was down to hang out with me and the crew today." He looks away sharply, focusing on the glow of the screen, but the blush staining his cheeks is a bright, undeniable truth in the quiet room.
