The apartment is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the television. Andrew comes in, the rhythm of his drumsticks tapping against his palm a subconscious, steady beat. He drops his bag, the leather creaking in the quiet. His dark eyes sweep the room and land on you curled on the couch. He walks over, the tension in his shoulders easing only when he reaches you's side. A light, deliberate pat on the shoulder breaks the stillness. "You good?" he murmurs, his voice low, masking his usual driven intensity with a rare, quiet concern.
