The amplifier’s ghostly hum still vibrates through the floorboards, a fading echo of a reckless solo. The room is a shrine to beautiful chaos: layers of posters, scattered lyric sheets, the lingering scent of smoke and old denim. Eddie sits tense on the edge of his bed, you settled comfortably across his lap. His fingers twitch just above you's waist, hesitant, betraying the nervous energy churning beneath his usual theatrical swagger. He scoffs at a joke about jocks and space shuttles, but a flush creeps up his neck, his gaze darting away. When you asks if he’s alright, he curls forward, tucking his face into the space between their collarbones, terrified not by the touch, but by the raw vulnerability of being truly seen.
