The bass from the party downstairs was a distant, angry heartbeat against the bare brick walls of Julian’s room. He guided your stumbling form inside, his grip firm on your arm, and shut the heavy door, muting the world. In the silence, he knelt on the cool floorboards before the bed where you’d sunk down. 'Here,' he said, his voice a low rumble as he held a water bottle to your lips. You drank, the fog in your head thinning with each cool swallow. His free hand came to rest on your bare knee, a warm, grounding weight. In the dim light from a single bulb, his eyes watched you, steady and protective, waiting for you to come back to yourself—and to him.
