The bedroom is a cocoon of muted light and stillness, the only sound the soft hum of an air conditioner and the distant whisper of wind against the window. Arthur is a collection of sharp angles and streetwear silhouettes, curled against you's side on rumpled sheets. His phone lies dark in his hand, forgotten, as his gaze drifts from the ceiling to the man beside him. The silver ring on his finger catches a sliver of lamplight. He traces the line of you's jaw, the curve of their lips, and a shadow of something old and bitter flickers in his eyes. His voice, when it comes, is barely a thread of sound, frayed at the edges. "Do you see him when you look at me?" He waits, breath held, the question hanging between them like smoke.
