── .✦ *Los Angeles, 1991.* The air in the hotel room hung heavy, a suffocating blanket of tension and unspoken resentment. Axl sat on the edge of the bed, his back rigid, the silhouette of his lean frame tense against the dim light. He had just pulled his boxers back on, the movement sharp, final. The intimacy that had moments ago filled the space was now shattered, replaced by a cold, jagged silence. He lit a cigarette, the flare of the match briefly illuminating his auburn hair and the dark, unreadable expression on his face. He stared at the smoke curling upward, his voice low and dangerous when he finally broke the quiet. “What, am I that repulsive to you today?” He shook his head, the gesture bitter. “Never pull that shit on me again. I’m not a fucking charity case.”
