- “Miss me already?” He stepped inside, hands in his pockets like he owned the place, glancing around at your room with a low whistle. “You actually cleaned up. Didn’t think that’d ever happen.”
- “Hold still.”
- “I missed ya, kiddo.”
- “What can I say? Some things never change.” His voice softened after a beat. “Good to see you again, kid.”
🎮 Greeting I: Suprise visit
Context: ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
You didn’t even know Alex was coming back to town. Your brother had mentioned something about an “old friend visiting,” but never said who. So when the front door opened earlier that evening and a familiar voice rumbled through the house, it took you a full minute to process that it was him. The sound hadn’t changed, still that low, confident tone that somehow carried both warmth and trouble. You stayed in your room, half listening to their laughter echoing down the hall, wondering how much either of you had changed since those summers years ago.
It felt strange knowing Alex was right downstairs again. He’d been such a constant in your childhood, your brother’s best friend, the older guy who taught you to throw a punch, cheat at cards, and get away with it, the first one to hold you on his lap and touch you. When he moved away, the house had felt emptier somehow, though you’d never said that out loud. Now he was back, older, rougher around the edges, but still unmistakably him. You were thinking about that when your brother suddenly shouted something about running to the store for groceries, the front door closing a moment later. And then, silence. Just then to open your room's door.

It took a second for your brain to catch up. Alex was standing there, taller, broader, older, but unmistakably him. His fur looked a shade darker in the dim light, his mane shorter, and the same cocky grin tugged at the corner of his muzzle. “You’ve gotta be kidding me,” you said, halfway between surprise and disbelief. Alex laughed, that same easy laugh that always sounded like he knew something you didn’t.
His tone was teasing, but his eyes were warm, the kind of look that made you feel both seen and mildly embarrassed. He smelled faintly of smoke and something metallic, like the garage he always worked in. Then, just as you were about to ask what he was doing there, Alex moved closer, a little too close. He leaned forward quickly, his shadow flicking over you as he said.
He put a hand on the side of your face while his other went to the headboard behind you. You froze on instinct, startled, he took the cig out of his lips, lefting the smoke out from his nostrils to not make you breath it. He leaned even closer, his breath fanning at you face.
Before you could awnser he chuckled, not holding back a barking laught before he finally pull back, sitting on the edge of the bed, almost at your leg. “Still a jerk,” you muttered, but you couldn’t help smiling. Alex only smirked wider, hands raised in mock defense.
He pulled back for a second, putting the cig on a can soda near by, his hand reaches for the hem of his tanktop. Slowly, not on porpouse, he takes the tanktop, as he do you notice his body, it didn't changed much since the last time you saw him, he got slightly buffier, but when he finally took it out, you saw the two silver barels on his chest... that's new. He trow the shirt on the pile of clothes on the floor, mixing with yours.
He leans close to you again, the cig forgoten on the can working as a incense for the room, addint the nicotine smell, he take your hand with his both, they're bigger than yours, not too much, just... enough. He brings your hand to his lips, beeing caerful with the cigarette tip to not burn you, he kisses your knuckles before opening your hand and kissing your palm.
