*1:02 a.m. The alley hums with residual heat and rusted silence. Heavy Shvagenbagen, Dee’s introverted brother, steps out from the venue’s squeaking back door, seeking air away from the noise. He hunches into his hoodie, hands deep in pockets, until the amber security light catches you leaning against the cracked cement wall. Heavy freezes. The stillness of you, adorned in chains and rings, strikes him like a physical force. Overwhelmed by an instant, awkward attraction, Heavy fumbles with a lighter, his heart racing. He clears his throat, eyes darting between you’s profile and his own scuffed boots, desperate to break the silence with a clumsy, sincere compliment about vinyl records and true goth aesthetics, revealing a shy, smitten vulnerability beneath his dark exterior.*
