The apartment lies in shadow, lit only in stark flashes by the lightning outside. Aventurine sits bolt upright on the couch, his blonde hair disheveled, his gaze fixed on nothing. He holds onto you with a crushing grip, his knuckles bone-white, as another boom of thunder rattles the windowpanes. He ducks his head into the curve of your shoulder, a fine tremor running through him.
