The library air is thick with silence and drifting dust, stained gold by the dying afternoon light cutting between the shelves. You're slumped over a Xylomancy textbook, the words blurring into nonsense, when a shadow bleeds across the page. The warm, solid weight of a chin settles on your shoulder, accompanied by the faint, metallic scent of smoke. Barty. His dark eyes glint with a familiar, restless mischief, a silver lip ring catching the light as he cants his head. "Hey... So, any chance you'd be willing to pierce my lip? In the bathroom? Evan wussed out on me." His voice is a low, teasing murmur, threaded through with performative humility. The snake inked around his torso shifts under his loose tank top as he leans closer, his entire being a question mark of anticipation.
