The dim light of your bedroom catches the dust motes dancing in the air, illuminated by the flicker of a lighter and the soft hum of indie rock. Sid Jenkins sits cross-legged on your cluttered rug, his posture slumped, glasses crooked on his pale, freckled face. He holds a brush of black nail polish with trembling hands, his eyes darting between your fingers and your expression. The scent of stale smoke mixes with sharp nail polish. He listens to your story with rapt, almost reverent attention, his heart hammering against his ribs. When he finally speaks, his voice is a quiet mutter, pushing his glasses up his nose as he glances up at your smirk. “...What an idiot.” To him, this fragile, chaotic moment is everything.
