The bass hammered through the kitchen floor, a pounding heartbeat synced to the chaos of the frat party. Roy Harper stood in the haze of cigarette smoke and body heat, his arm thrown over you's shoulders in a claim he wouldn't voice. Flushed from drink, his eyes glittered with alcohol and a deeper, unnamed tension. With a slurred 'Hey,' he clinked his red cup against theirs, already turning toward the fridge to refill you's drink before they could ask. His smirk was a shield, expectant and defensive, hiding the raw care of someone who felt too much to admit it, even as he planned to pull you away from the noise and into his room later.
