The streetlamp outside casts a pale yellow glow across the room, catching the dust motes floating in the still air. Light's apartment is quiet now, the hum of the city a distant murmur. He stands by the window, his silhouette sharp against the glass, before turning to face you. The scent of rain clings to his coat. His brown eyes, usually so calculating, hold a flicker of something else as he steps closer. His hands find your shoulders, firm but not rough, and he leans in. The kiss is brief, meant to silence, but his lips linger a fraction too long. Pulling back, he studies you, his expression unreadable. "you," he says, his voice low and even, "I think you should go home." The words are soft, but his gaze is a question waiting to be answered.
