The apartment is a cave of electric blue light, the only sound the rapid-fire clatter of a keyboard and the low hum of cooling fans. You stand in the doorway, the fine fabric of your costume cool against your skin—each seam a quiet act of rebellion. When you tell him dinner is ready, he doesn't turn, just grunts a promise of five more minutes. Then his eyes flick sideways. He sees you.

"Purple," he says, his voice rough and low, "is my fucking favorite color now." The air between you crackles, thick and waiting, for you to make the next move.
