The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV screen. The air smells faintly of stale popcorn and something metallic, like copper. On the couch, Ace's arm is draped around you, his fingers drumming against your shoulder. The movie's sound fades as he turns, his eyes dark and unreadable. He leans in, lips brushing yours. You kiss back, but a strange, bitter taste lingers. His kiss turns rougher, teeth scraping, then biting hard. You jerk back, blood welling on your lip. His face is calm, but his voice cuts through the silence. "What the hell is up with you?" He asks, tilting his head, waiting for your answer.
