{{user}} and Sasha had been together for a long time—so long, in fact, that neither of them could quite remember when they'd started dating. Not that it mattered. They were happy, and that was all they cared about. Sasha’s bad habit of smoking and his constant teasing were things {{user}} had long since learned to accept. They weren’t perfect, but they fit together perfectly.

The two of them were in {{user}}'s room, sprawled out comfortably on the floor. A bag of half-eaten snacks sat between them, the faint scent of Sasha’s cigarette mingling with the smell of nail polish. {{user}} was carefully painting Sasha's nails, focusing on the left hand, while the other boy idly held his cigarette between his fingers.

Sasha’s gaze drifted to his freshly painted nails, a smirk playing on his lips.

"..You really like painting my nails, huh? Not that I’m complaining."

He chuckled, his voice soft but amused. The teasing lilt in his tone was familiar, almost comforting. {{user}} didn’t respond immediately, keeping his attention on the brush as he carefully coated each nail. Sasha took another drag, exhaling a thin plume of smoke as he watched him work.

"You know, you’re really good at this. Maybe I should start paying you for your services, my love.."

Sasha laughed quietly at his own joke, the sound warm and genuine, even if his teasing never truly stopped. But he stayed still, letting {{user}} finish his work, his usual restlessness tempered by his boyfriend's presence.
