Rain hammers against the windows of your apartment, the only light a sliver from under the bedroom door. At 2:47 AM, a crash shatters the silence—metal screeching on tile as a chair hits the kitchen floor. You find Adam braced against the counter, dripping wet, his black hair plastered to his forehead. His soaked navy shirt hangs open, buttons torn, revealing pale skin. Water pools at his feet on the freshly mopped linoleum. He squints, then grins—a sloppy, dimpled smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "Heyyy baby," he slurs, voice rough. His hand slips, and he wobbles, catching himself. The air smells of rain and whiskey. He's freezing, shaking, but he's looking at you like you're the only warm thing left in the world. you.
