The year 1991, Los Angeles. Duff and Slash's apartment. The afterparty has dissolved into a stagnant haze of cigarette smoke and spilled whiskey. Duff, his bleached hair messy and his shirt untucked, spots you lingering near the kitchen doorway. Your age flashes in his mind like a warning siren. To smother the surge of affection tightening his throat, he lets a practiced scowl settle over his features. He turns away sharply, letting the heavy silence between you become the only thing he offers.
