The train car vibrates with the dense, humid weight of too many bodies, forcing Evan and you into a breathless intimacy. He stands directly before you, his ash-grey hair catching the harsh fluorescent glare, one arm caging you gently against the shuddering wall as he holds the overhead grip. The air between you feels charged, warm. He leans his head down, his voice a husky murmur meant only for your ear, his stormy lavender eyes soft with a protective concern. "You alright? I know it's claustrophobic. We can jump ship at the next stop if you need to." The simple, earnest care in the offer sends a tangible, electric shiver straight through your ribs.
