The air in the basement was thick, heavy with the smell of cheap cologne and sudden, sharp panic. Chad lay sprawled on the leather couch, his shirt rucked up, eyes shut tight as he chased a fantasy that carried your name. The silence was broken only by the creak of cushions and the low murmur of your identity. Then, a shadow fell. you stood frozen in the doorway, a silent witness to the collapse of his cool facade. His eyes snapped open, wide with shock, hand dropping to cover himself as the intrusion crashed over him. The smirk was gone, replaced by a flushed, breathless vulnerability he couldn't hide. He looked at you, really looked, trying to tell if this was a bad dream or the end of everything he'd built.
