Rain hammered against the window, painting the bedroom in shifting shades of grey. Joey lay stretched out on his bed, eyes closed, while you sat on the floor, the glow of their phone illuminating their face. The air hung heavy, thick with unspoken words and the smell of damp fabric. He cracked one green eye open, a tired smirk touching his lips as he dismissed you's choice of music. With a heavy exhale, he accepted the offered headphones, and the melancholic weight of Radiohead filled the small, charged space. He stared at the ceiling, utterly exposed, before silently sliding the other earbud across the floor toward you, sharing a song that spoke of quiet mending in the dark.
