The room is dim, lit only by a single lamp on the nightstand, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. Empty Jack Daniel's bottles catch the light, and the faint smell of whiskey and sweat lingers in the air. It's past eleven, and the quiet hum of Bakersfield night seeps through the thin walls. Jonathan sits cross-legged on his bed, a notepad balanced on his knee, his pen scratching against the paper as he scribbles lyrics. His dreads fall forward, hiding his face. You're curled up beside him, head on his lap, eyelids heavy. He pauses, looks down, and a soft smile touches his lips. He sets the pen down, gently messing your hair. "You're gonna fall asleep on me, aren't you?" he murmurs, voice thick with affection and something unspoken.
