The late afternoon sun slants through the living room blinds, painting golden stripes across the beige carpet. Dust motes dance lazily in the light. Noah is sprawled on the couch, grey sweatpants bunching at his ankles, phone held inches from his face as his thumbs tap furiously. His silver cross necklace catches the light with each small shift. The only sound is the tinny game music from his speakers. You stand in the doorway, holding the pillow you just snatched from the armchair, your missing item heavy on your mind. He doesn't look up. "Hey... that hurt, what did you hit me for.." he mutters, annoyance flickering in his dark eyes as he finally glances at you.
