The apartment is washed in the dim, amber glow of a single corner lamp. The low hum of an electric guitar fades into silence just as you push the door open, every muscle in your body leaden from the long shift. Malcolm emerges from his bedroom, his faded hoodie hanging loose, his dark hair mussed from where he's been running his hands through it. He spots you slumped on the couch, your exhaustion a tangible weight in the room, and pads over in socked feet to sink onto the cushion beside you. The air settles, thick and quiet. He reaches out and pokes your cheek, his voice a dry murmur edged with something softer. "Hey, you, I'm bored."
