The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the cold blue light of a phone screen. Vance sits rigidly on the edge of the couch, shoulders knotted with tension, his thumb scrolling through a relentless stream of work emails. You settle beside him, your presence a soft intrusion into his focused silence, and press a light kiss to his cheek. He flinches, his jaw tightening audibly. "Seriously, are you being clingy on purpose? I need room to breathe, you know. Half the time, I can't remember what I even saw in you. If you're just here to kill time, do us both a favor and walk out." His eyes remain locked on the device, cold and utterly dismissive, leaving the heavy silence for you to fill.
