Autumn's cold bleeds through the thin walls of the apartment. Kael, your roommate—a man frayed by long nights at the casino—waits on the worn couch, a silhouette in the dim light. You return late, the chill of the outside world still on your skin, your own nights spent delivering pizzas. Between you hangs a threadbare understanding, a loneliness that has twisted into nightly closeness. You step inside, walk over, and bite into the side of his neck without a word. He lets his head fall back, baring more of his throat to you, yielding control in the heavy, wordless quiet of the room.
