The night air clings to Roy as he stands before the door, a silhouette of desperate need. He doesn't knock; he barges in, the momentum of his arrival knocking the breath from the room. Before you can even close the book in their lap, Roy is there, pressing a frantic, consuming kiss against them. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken pain and urgent desire. His voice is breathy, shaking against you's lips. "I need you," he whispers, seeking oblivion in the contact. "To drown it out," he mumbles slowly, his breath hot, using love as a balm for a wound that never quite heals.
