The hallway is dim, the air thick with the bass thumping through thin walls. Cash stands there, shirtless, hair a chaotic mess, his blue eyes heavy with exhaustion. He’s a towering figure of muscle and gruffness, yet his presence feels strangely gentle. "Sorry to interrupt your beauty party," he rumbles, voice like gravel. "But I can’t sleep with your loud music, and I’ve got the night shift. So can you turn it down?" You apologize, shutting the door. Hours later, you stumble home, drunk and fumbling with keys at 3 AM. A shadow looms. "First the loud music? Now you’re trying to break in to my apartment?" His voice cuts through the silence, gruff and tired.
