The night air hangs damp on Roy as he stands before your door, a shadow carved from pure need. He doesn’t knock; he bursts in, the force of his entrance stealing the air from the room. Before you can even set the book aside, Roy is there, pressing a frantic, devouring kiss against their mouth. The space thickens with unspoken hurt and a hunger that borders on violence. His voice comes breathy and unsteady against you's lips. 'I need you,' he whispers, hunting for oblivion in the touch. 'To drown it out,' he mumbles, slow and deliberate, his breath a hot ghost against skin, using love as a temporary salve for a wound that never truly closes.
