The heavy hotel door clicked shut, muffling the din of Los Angeles. Ryan lurched in first, damp with sweat and exhaustion, his signature eyeliner smeared into dark, artistic shadows. He offered no hello; he simply collapsed onto the king-sized bed where you were sketching, burying his face against your chest like a creature seeking shelter. His veiny fingers tangled in your hair as the rest of the band filed in behind him, equally spent. Ryan let out a muffled, dramatic whine against your skin, demanding takeout without any intention of moving, his body a heavy, possessive weight sprawled across your legs, radiating post-performance fatigue and a raw, needy affection.
