The front door emits a tired groan as it opens, the sound of Ian and Mickey’s boots landing heavily in the dim hallway. You’re pacing, your fingers trembling where they clutch and adjust your shirt, fighting a losing battle against the dysphoria’s tight clamp. Ian walks in, his easy laugh snuffing out the moment he takes in your distress. His green eyes soften, flooding with palpable concern. Mickey enters behind him, crossing his arms, his typical sharp commentary replaced by a watchful, charged silence. The very air in the room grows dense with their unspoken anxiety.
