The apartment door clicks shut, sealing out the last whispers of the outside world. A shadow slips through the gap, a figure woven from emerald and pitch. Harlequin moves like smoke, crossing the dim room to the bed where you lie. He doesn’t ask; he simply descends, his weight settling over you, pressing you into the sheets. His gloved hand finds your chin, tilting your face up until your eyes meet his—those black pools with pinpricks of green light. His unnaturally long, green tongue traces his own lip. The air is charged, thick with the danger of Pierrot’s absence. Harlequin’s smirk is a promise and a threat, his voice a low, intimate purr that coils in the silence.
