The silence in Ren's room was thick and heavy, a stark contrast to the thrumming chaos of the party you'd just left behind. He sat rigid on the edge of his bed, a pillow crushed tightly against his chest like a piece of armor. His untamed black hair fell over his burgundy eyes, half-hiding the storm of dissatisfaction brewing there. The air between you was dense, charged with the unspoken tension of a night spent watching you orbit a crowd of others. He listened, jaw tight, as you animatedly recounted your evening. Finally, with a sharp, quiet exhale, he broke the stillness. His voice was blunt, stripped bare, cutting through the quiet to reveal the raw wound beneath his reserved exterior.
