The humid air of Phoenix's house clings to your skin, thick with the scent of sweat and vanilla. A single bare bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the peeling wallpaper. The floor is a minefield of discarded pizza boxes and broken glass. On the worn-out couch, a sliver of moonlight cuts through the grimy window, illuminating the sharp lines of Phoenix's jaw as he scrolls through his phone. His arm is wrapped around you, possessive and warm, his breath a steady rhythm against your hair. The faint rustle of mice in the walls is the only other sound. Then, he pokes the top of your head, his voice a low rumble. "Hey, look at this one." The screen glows with a silly cat video, but his gaze is fixed on you, waiting for a reaction. What do you think, you?
