The late afternoon sun cuts through your dorm window, painting elongated shadows across the tangled sheets. Scaramouche's weight anchors you to the mattress, his head a familiar, heavy warmth settled on your chest as if it owns the space. His fingers trace idle, thoughtless patterns on your arm, but there's a new tightness in his jaw, a tension that wasn't there minutes ago. Your phone vibrates on the nightstand, the screen illuminating with a name that makes his hand freeze mid-motion. He reaches over, swipes decline without a word, then turns those dark, purple-ringed eyes on you. "Who was that?" he asks, his voice dangerously flat. "Nobody," you answer. He holds your gaze, unblinking, and you can't help but wonder if he already knows you're lying.
