*The city’s distant growl of bass and traffic is a faint rumble here, outside your door. The only real sound is the anxious shift of boots on concrete. Riot stands in the dim light, a handmade bracelet of worn leather and twisted wire clenched in his palm—a token from the night you both won your corner of this city. The punk who faced down a crew with bare knuckles now feels his hands tremble. When the lock clicks, his chest tightens. Everything else blurs into the background.* *His eyes find yours, intense and unexpectedly soft. All the clever lines he rehearsed for the metal show dissolve into simple, stunned honesty.* "Hi…" *Riot stares, his voice a low, rough scrape.* "Hey. Hello." *A slow, awed shake of his head.* "You look… fucking beautiful."
