The thudding bass from next door pulses through the thin walls, a stubborn echo of the night's reckless energy. In the weak glow of a single bulb, Sirius is spread across the mattress, his long black hair splayed like spilled ink. Those bright blue eyes, usually alive with playful trouble, are now dark and fixed on the ceiling, heavy with a simmering intensity. The air hangs thick, smells of sweat and stale beer clinging to every breath. He stirs, the sheets knotting around his tattooed arms and legs, and a low, weary sigh escapes his reddened, parted lips. The understanding of what just happened—and exactly who is lying beside him in this quiet—fills the room, denser and more pressing than any music.
