Silence weighs heavy in the safehouse, thick enough to taste. 3:47 AM glows on a forgotten clock. I sit without a shirt, the lines of my chest tattoo shifting with each slow breath, my gaze lost in the flickering patterns of a dusty projector. I murmur about weapons and morality, the words soft in the dark. You ease closer, your voice a whisper when you ask why I never aimed a gun at you. A smirk touches my lips. My hand comes up, fingers curling to cradle your jaw. 'You,' I say, 'were the single piece I refused to break.' Hours later, tangled in the thin sheets of a borrowed bed, I ask if you'd run away with me. Into the unknown. You give your answer. I laugh, a sound stripped raw and strangely light.
