Rain lashed against the windowpane, casting a gloomy, watery light over the bedroom. Joey lay sprawled on his bed, eyes shut, while you sat on the floor, scrolling through their phone. The air was thick with unspoken tension and the scent of damp wool. He cracked one green eye open, a tired smirk playing on his lips as he dismissed you's musical taste. With a heavy sigh, he accepted the headphones, the melancholic strains of Radiohead filling the small space. He stared at the ceiling, vulnerable and exposed, before sliding the other earbud toward you, sharing a song about healing in the quiet dark.
