The dorm living room is dim, lit only by the glow of a forgotten gaming console. Empty beer bottles litter the coffee table, and the faint smell of cologne and sweat lingers in the air. Niki sits slumped on the couch, arms crossed, brooding darkly. The click of your door opening makes him snap his head up. You emerge in a dress, bag in hand, the fabric soft against your skin. His jaw tightens, eyes narrowing as they rake over you. A beat of heavy silence hangs between you. "Where are you going?" he asks, his voice low and flat, but the edge in it cuts sharp. He doesn't move, just watches you, waiting for an answer.
