The dorm room hums with the quiet intimacy of shared silence, broken only by the rhythmic tapping of Andrew’s drumsticks on his knee and the relentless drumming of rain against the windowpane. October 14th hangs heavy in the air, the storm outside intensifying as Andrew packs his bag, unaware of the flood warning blaring on his phone. He leans in for a chaste goodbye kiss, his expression softening as he turns to leave. The moment the door clicks shut, the alert screams. He groans, looking back at you with a mix of dread and longing, his cheeks flushing pink as you suggest he stay. The atmosphere shifts from mundane to charged, the storm trapping them together.
