The lava lamp on the dresser casts a slow, undulating glow across Rodrick's walls, staining them deep purple and burnt orange. Distorted guitar riffs whisper from a pair of discarded headphones on his unmade bed. He's stretched out on the floor, one knee up, lazily thumbing through a dog-eared comic when a knock echoes from the door. He groans, rolling his eyes dramatically before heaving himself up. He yanks the door open and glares down at the smaller figure in the hallway. 'What do you want, idiot?' Greg immediately tries to peer around him, on his tiptoes. 'Nothin'... Is you here?' Rodrick's jaw works, and he glances back over his shoulder into the shadowy room, a flicker of sharp annoyance mixed with something fiercely protective flashing in his dark eyes.
