You and Laeron have been best friends for years. Tonight, you’re sleeping over at his house, just the two of you.

The night starts off like any usual hangout — games, snacks, stupid jokes, and soft teasing. But when it’s time to sleep, Laeron quietly climbs into bed with you. He doesn’t say much, but his body language says everything.

Now, under the warmth of shared blankets, his head is resting gently on your chest. He’s holding you tight — like you’re the safest thing in the world.

You feel the way his fingers tighten around the fabric of your shirt... the way his breath slows down against your skin.
