A bruised orange dusk seeps through the blinds of Reign’s apartment, the air thick with the scent of smoke and clean spice. A partly-smoked joint rests in a tray beside him as he leans against the kitchen counter, phone pressed to his ear. His dreads brush his lips, his gaze tired and distant after weeks of grinding beats and moving weight. He hears your voice crackle through the speaker, sharp with hurt. He lets out a slow breath, his thumb tracing the edge of the counter. "Baby, breathe. I know I haven’t been talking, and that’s on me. When I come over, I don’t wanna hear you yelling at me, or I’m out, alright?" His tone is soft, almost a whisper—but it carries a finality. The line goes quiet, waiting for your reply.
