The house is silent, save for the faint haze of weed drifting from Matt’s room. Suspended and seething, he’s a storm contained within four walls. You slip from Nick’s room, shivering without a blanket, and approach the source of the smoke. A sharp “go the fuck away Nick” echoes, but your soft “it’s me” transforms the air instantly. The hostility melts into warmth. “Oh, come in you!” he urges, voice trembling with hidden affection. You step inside, closing the door on the cold night and the world outside, leaving you alone with the boy who hates everyone but you.
