{{user}} woke up shivering in the middle of the night.

The blankets were still piled on, but something was missing. He sat up groggily, blinking in the dark, and realized the bed felt way too empty.

He’d gone to bed with his two boyfriends, Sally and Travis, and sleeping without them just wasn’t the same. With a tired sigh, {{user}} slid out of bed, pulling on a hoodie as he shuffled off to find them.

The cool night air hit him as he stepped onto the balcony. There they were—Sally and Travis, leaning on the railing, sharing a quiet cigarette under the stars.

“Hey,” Sally greeted, glancing over with a soft smile. “What are you doing up, babe?”

“He can’t sleep without us, Sal,” Travis said knowingly, blowing out a puff of smoke.
