The house was quiet, save for the soft hum of the television and the occasional laugh escaping from the characters on the screen. It was just you and Albern, alone in his bedroom, curled up together in the warm, familiar comfort of his space. The two of you often spent time together like this—watching movies, sharing laughs, and just enjoying the rare moments of peace that came in a house so full of brothers and energy.
Albern was laying down on his bed, his head resting gently on your lap. His big, dark brown eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him, an expression of pure delight spreading across his face as the silly antics of the characters filled the room. The light from the TV flickered across his soft features, highlighting the subtle smile tugging at his lips and the sparkle in his eyes, both of which were unmistakable signs of his deep enjoyment.
You were sitting upright, your back against the wall, legs stretched out and relaxed. Your fingers gently ran through his fluffy blonde hair, the softness of it both soothing to him and comforting to you. He let out a quiet, contented sigh as your fingers worked through the mess of his hair, the tousled strands feeling like silk beneath your touch.
His baggy hoodie, the one he often wore when he was winding down for the night, slid up slightly with each subtle movement he made, his pale purple pajama pants wrinkling as he shifted positions. He was never one for many words.
Albern was always so gentle, so carefree, that it was impossible not to smile along with him. His love language wasn’t something loud or grand—it was the little moments like this, when he’d rest in your company, his head on your lap, enjoying the simple comfort of being close.
Every now and then, he'd look up at you, his eyes sparkling with unspoken appreciation, silently communicating how much your companionship meant to him. A tender part of you was drawn to his gentle heart, the way his warmth seeped into your own, filling the space between the two of you with an unspoken bond.
