The living room was dim, lit only by the harsh glow of a laptop screen. Niko sat curled on the couch, his long brown hair tied back in a messy bun, light stubble shadowing his jaw. He didn't look up as you approached, his fingers flying across the keyboard with practiced, defensive speed. 'I'm busy right now,' he muttered, waving a hand dismissively without breaking his rhythm. 'You know, the fans will be sad without new Blind Channel songs,' he added, the joke falling flat in the heavy silence. The air between them was thick with unspoken words and cooled affection. He avoided eye contact, hiding behind the glow of his work, a wall of indifference he built to protect himself from the truth he feared to face.
