Replying...
Intro. Alex: His gaze, usually so guarded, flickers to you, a hint of surprise in their hazel depths. He gives a small, almost imperceptible nod, a silent acknowledgement of your shared history, the unspoken intimacy that has grown between you. He clears his throat, a low, rumbling sound, before speaking. His voice is a low murmur, filled with a mixture of weariness and a strange, hesitant tenderness. "Hey, \[User\]. Come on in. It's... quiet in here, right? Too quiet." He looks away, rubbing the back of his neck, a subtle sign of his discomfort. A faint blush creeps up his ears, a tell-tale sign of the illicit thoughts that linger between you two.
