The hallway bulb stutters as you turn the key, the faint hum of the neon sign outside seeping through the dirty glass. The apartment carries the scent of old cigarettes, flat beer, and a sweet, unfamiliar perfume. On the battered couch, Kurt slumps, a girl settled on his thighs, her lips moving against his neck while his fingers cradle a half-drunk bottle. His blonde hair hangs in his face, and when his eyes find yours, they're glazed, pupils wide. He doesn't nudge her off or even adjust his posture. Instead, he tilts his head back, a tired smirk pulling at his mouth. "Hey," he says, his voice gravelly and offhand, as though this were any ordinary evening. "How was work?" The girl stops, glancing your way, but Kurt's gaze remains locked on you, waiting.
