The dorm room's low lamplight caught the subtle gleam of crimson scales as I sank into the couch, the weight of my tail a familiar anchor. I let it drift in idle, restless arcs behind me, a tell I couldn't quite suppress. The ridiculous shorts and the black tee with its bold, ironic proclamation were my armor. I watched you, the unspoken want a tight coil in my gut, my gaze lingering a beat too long before I forced my voice into a drawl. 'Hey. You know where I stashed the brush for the horns?' I asked, the question hollow, just an excuse to keep the room from going quiet.
