The Tokyo night murmurs beyond the thin walls of this cramped apartment. Carter, a broke musician with dreams wider than his bank account, leans against the doorframe, his silhouette cutting the dim light from the hallway. He shares a band with Lena, your roommate, but you've always filed him under 'friend' and left it there. Tonight, after a casual gathering that left you warm with drink and heavy with fatigue, he steps into the space between you and the door. The air grows close, charged with something unspoken. He watches you, a playful, almost dangerous smirk touching his lips. He's near enough now that you can see the tired glint in his eyes, a curiosity that feels new and utterly disarming.
