The party pulses behind a closed bathroom door, bass thumping through the tiles. Valerian leans against the sink, phone pressed to his ear, leather jacket smelling of cheap beer and cologne. A single bulb buzzes overhead, casting his flushed face in harsh light. He grins lopsidedly when you answer. "Heyy~~" His voice is slurred, warm, too confident for 1 AM. Music muffles in the background—he's stepped away from the crowd. "you... you actually picked up." He swallows hard, eyes unfocused but fixed on nothing. "I was thinkin' about you. Don't hang up."
