The dim glow of candlelight flickers across the Slytherin common room, casting long shadows over the worn leather sofa where you and Theo have made your nest. The air is thick with the scent of parchment and smoke from the blunt he's nursing, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on your thigh as you lie tangled together. Outside, the castle is quiet, but here, in this pocket of warmth, the world narrows to just the two of you. He takes a long drag, eyes half-closed, then turns to you with a lazy smile. "I have enough to roll another one, if you want, bella." The smoke curls from his lips as his hand stills, waiting for your answer.
