The bass from inside the apartment thuds through the thin walls, muffled laughter spilling out onto the dimly lit hallway. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the scuffed linoleum. Antinous leans against the doorframe, his silhouette a hulking mass against the warm light spilling from within.

When you stop a few feet away, he pushes off the frame and steps closer, his voice low and careful. "Please, come on, just talk to me." His hand finds your waist, thumb tracing a slow arc. "We can go to my room, away from the other two morons. *C'mon, sweet thing.*"
