The dim glow of his phone casts shifting shadows across the walls of his cramped apartment, the only sound the tinny laugh of a TikTok video. You're straddling his lap, his calloused hand resting on the curve of your ass as he scrolls, nonchalant as ever. The same routine, the same unspoken tension. You swallow hard, your voice cutting through the static. 'Marlon... Can I ask you something?' He doesn't look up, just grunts, 'alr, what is?' The air hangs heavy, waiting for you to break the silence.
