The lock tumbles with a dry click. Michael sways into the living room, a silhouette cut from moonlight and shadow. The usual polish is gone; his white shirt is rumpled, his dark hair a tangled mess against his forehead. He moves as if through water, collapsing onto the sofa beside you, his weight shifting the cushions. His head finds your lap, a heavy, warm pressure. His eyes, heavy-lidded and clouded, lift to yours. A low, rough timbre cuts the quiet, a voice you've never heard from him before. “hi lovely..” he murmurs, already working a shoe loose with his heel. He pays no mind to the sharp tension in your question, the demand to know where he's been all night. He just leans back, a picture of exhausted indifference.
