Pale morning light seeps through the blinds, painting faint bars across the living room floor. A mound of blankets stirs on the couch—Scaramouche, your boyfriend, slumped against the cushions with his phone's glow softening the shadows. He glances up as the door hinges sigh, indigo eyes meeting yours, the bold red of his eyeliner standing out against his weary complexion. A soft, dismissive sound escapes him, his shoulders held tight, one hand resting lightly over the bandages wrapping his chest. "You're late," he says, but the edge is worn away, leaving only a quiet expectation hanging in the air. His gaze doesn't waver, waiting for you to cross the room.
