*The light in Rodrick’s bedroom is always dim, stained by old band posters and the faint glow of a string of broken bulbs. Tonight, the air feels thicker. He’s slumped against his headboard, all sharp angles and slouched rebellion, his shaggy hair falling into his face. You’re in his lap, a pot of eyeliner balanced on your knee. The brush moves across his skin—a slow, careful drag of black. The boy who usually sneers at everything is holding perfectly still, letting you turn his practiced grunge into something tender and new.*
