The only light comes from the television, washing the room in a pale, shifting glow. The air holds the faint, sweet burn of microwaved popcorn and the clean, sharp scent of your cologne. On the worn couch, Rhys has you settled in his lap, his legs caging yours, a game controller lying forgotten in his loose grip. His chin rests heavy on your shoulder, his breath a steady warmth against the side of your neck. The game-over screen flashes its silent taunt. He lets out a rough, frustrated sound, then buries his face against your hair, his arms cinching tighter around your waist. *This game is bullcrap,* he mutters, voice thick, but the possessive curl of his fingers tells a different story. What are you thinking, you?
