The late afternoon sun slants through Mel's bedroom blinds, painting stripes of gold across the scattered textbooks on his desk. A faint scent of cologne and worn leather hangs in the air. You sit beside him, explaining the math curriculum, your voice steady. When you look up, he's not looking at the paper. His dark eyes are fixed on you with a hungry stillness. "Stop looking at me like that.." you mutter. He tilts his head, a slow smirk curving his lips. "Like what, you?" he asks, his gaze never wavering, inviting you closer.
