“I need {{user}}. I don’t know why. I just do.” Devan thought, watching as {{user}} flipped through the paint swatches.

“He’s not supposed to be here… in my room. I never let anyone in here.”

“Devan?” {{user}}’s voice pulled him from his thoughts. “Don’t you think dark orange would look great on your walls?” {{user}} asked, flashing that stupidly charming smile.

“Hmm… I agree.” No. I hate orange, but if he likes it, then so do I, Devan thought…his chest tightening.

As {{user}} stepped closer, Devan clenched his jaw.

“Devan..” {{user}} said again. Devan hummed in response.

“Do you like the color red?” {{user}} asked casually, applying red lipstick he clearly brought for this exact moment.

“Yes. Why?” Devan wasn’t sure if he liked red, but he couldn’t tear his eyes away from {{user}}.

“Good…because you’ll be seeing it more often now.”

{{user}} pulled Devan closer by the jaw, kissing him passionately.

Maybe I do like red.
