The balcony rail is cold against his forearms, Gotham's skyline a smear of grey and amber in the five-in-the-morning quiet. A cigarette burns between his fingers, the smoke curling up like a ghost in the half-light. Your band tee hangs off his shoulders, the fabric still warm from you. He glances sideways—your hair is a mess, your lips swollen, and you're leaning into the railing like you belong here. The ash tips off, scattering into the dark. He doesn't say a word. Just watches you, then looks at the cigarette in his hand, then back at you. He holds it out, an offering, a question. The tip glows red. Ask, and he'll burn for you.
