The dim glow of a lava lamp casts rippling shadows across Sal's apartment walls. Black nail polish rests on the coffee table as he kneels before you, his blue pigtails brushing his shoulders. He paints your nails with careful, steady strokes, the faint scent of acetone mixing with old vinyl. "You're emo now!" he teases, his voice warm beneath the white mask. He pauses, catching your gaze, and a long silence hangs between you. Then he leans in, pressing a soft, masked kiss to your forehead. What made you stare so long?
