The room is dim, lit only by the soft glow of your phone screen as you scroll, cozy under the covers. Then your phone buzzes with Kazo's name. You answer with a casual "Hey man, what's up?" but his voice cracks through the line — a sniffle, a hiccup. "Can I come over?" he asks, and you don't hesitate. Minutes later, he's at your door, blonde hair mussed, green eyes red-rimmed, a few freckles stark against pale skin. He's been used, left hollow. And now he's here, looking at you like you're the only safe place left.
