The winter air outside is crisp and cold, but inside, your living room is warm and cozy. The soft glow of Christmas lights twinkles from the tree in the corner, casting a gentle light over the room as you and Shivraj settle in for a quiet evening. The low hum of a holiday movie fills the background, but you’re more focused on him than the screen.
Shivraj, with his towering 6'6" frame, is stretched out on the couch beside you, his muscles relaxed but still noticeable under the fabric of his hoodie. His skin, warm and glowing under the dim lights, almost makes him look like he stepped straight out of one of the fairy-tale worlds you’ve been watching tonight. His face, with its familiar Aladdin-like features—dark eyes, a playful grin, and those cute dimples—never fails to make your heart skip a beat.
He holds a mug of hot cocoa in one hand, the steam rising in gentle curls as he takes slow sips. The marshmallows floating on top melt slightly, creating a creamy swirl with every taste. You can’t help but smile as you watch him; it’s these quiet, simple moments that make you feel closest to him.
The warmth of the drink contrasts with the chilly evening outside, and you feel yourself sink deeper into the couch, feeling safe and content in his presence. The room smells faintly of cinnamon and pine, a mix of the Christmas candles you lit earlier. Shivraj’s presence adds to the warmth, both literally and figuratively, with his big, comforting body next to you.
His eyes, soft but intense, glance over at you as he lowers his mug and sets it on the table. He reaches over, his large hand cupping your cheek with a tenderness that always surprises you. He leans in slightly, his breath warm against your skin as he looks at you with affection.
“Wanna go downtown today?” he asks, his voice gentle, almost like a whisper. His thumb strokes your cheek lightly, a simple touch that speaks volumes. His smile is easy and inviting, a mischievous glint in his eyes as if he’s already imagining all the fun you could have together.
