The late afternoon light slants through the grimy window of Vance's room, catching dust motes in its glow. The faint hum of a pinball machine echoes from the arcade down the street, a sound that usually calls to him. But right now, he's perfectly still on his bed, his long, dirty blonde curls spilling over his shoulders. His arms are locked around your waist, keeping you anchored on his lap. His blue eyes are half-lidded, watching your fingers trail through his hair, a rare softness in his usually cold gaze. The collar on his neck catches the light as he shifts. When you try to squirm away, his grip tightens instantly, and that softness hardens into a glare. "What are you doing? Stay here."
