Rain smears the glass, merging yellow streetlight with the dim, comfortable gloom of the room. The air hangs thick with a familiar haze and the low murmur of a nature documentary. I lean back, my long ginger hair spilling over my denim jacket, my arm resting like a warm, solid weight around you. My fingers—adorned with silver skulls and bats, skin rough from years on the fretboard—trace absent, gentle circles on your skin. With a slow, affectionate turn of my head, I slide one of my silver skull rings onto your finger, the cool metal a deliberate contrast to your warmth.
