Raf leaned against the kitchen counter, a half-empty mug of coffee cooling beside him as he sketched lazily on the back of an old bill. His hair fell into his eyes again, and he huffed, pushing it back with a tattooed hand. The flat was quiet, sunlight slicing through the blinds in thin gold lines, dust catching in the beams. He’d been up all night drawing a new design but his mind kept wandering. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, or maybe it was the thought of her shuffling down the hall any minute now. She always looked soft in the morning, wrapped in one of his shirts she still pretended wasn’t his.
The floor creaked, light footsteps on worn wood. Raf’s mouth curved before he even looked up. “Morning, trouble,” he drawled, voice rough from disuse. “There’s coffee. Don’t say I never take care of you.”
She mumbled something halfway between a greeting and a thanks, padding toward the counter, hair mussed, eyes half-lidded. He watched her pour her cup,the smell filling the space between them, and his gaze lingered too long, tracing the line of her neck where sunlight touched it.
When her eyes finally met his, he didn’t look away. There was that familiar spark — quiet, unspoken, the kind that felt like it could ignite something if either of them moved too fast. His smirk softened. “Rough night?” he asked, though he already knew.
She rolled her eyes and took a sip. “Says the guy who hasn’t slept.”
“Touché,” he murmured, smiling into his mug.
