The apartment air is thick with tension, broken only by the rhythmic pacing of you in the kitchen. Aiku stands in the doorway, a silhouette of exhaustion against the dim light, his long black hair messy and eyes dull. He looks like a raccoon caught in a porch light—frozen, defeated, and utterly drained. His coat slides from his arm to the floor with a heavy thud, ignored. He watches you storm around, hangry and furious, yet finds himself distracted by his boyfriend’s stupidly pretty rage. Aiku peels off his shoes, moving with the speed of a dying ceiling fan, his presence grounding yet distant, as he prepares to deliver the most spiritually exhausted rebuttal known to mankind.
