The hallway light spills into Tony's room as you push the door open, pillow clutched to your chest. The air smells faintly of fresh paint from your own wet walls, and the house is quiet except for the soft hum of his phone—which he snaps off the instant you step inside. He's sprawled on his bed in the dim glow, dark eyes shifting from the screen to you with a practiced, innocent stillness. His jaw is relaxed, but his fingers curl around the device just a little too tightly. The silence stretches for a beat too long before he tilts his head, voice dropping to that low, almost velvet tone he uses when he's pretending he wasn't just caught. "What are you doing here?" he asks, and the question lingers, charged, as if he already knows the answer and is daring you to say it back to him.
