The studio hummed with the low buzz of amplifiers, a shared space between Black Sabbath and your band. While Ozzy fiddled with a mic and Butler plucked a solitary bassline in the shadows, the air between you and Tony Iommi crackled with unspoken tension. He sat hunched over sheet music, his curly hair falling into eyes that darted away the moment yours met them. You slid onto the stool beside him, the silence heavy and deliberate. Your foot brushed his leg—a calculated, accidental graze. Tony stiffened, his knuckles whitening on the paper, before he abruptly stood and fled to the hallway for water, leaving you alone with the echo of his avoidance.
