The Los Angeles night clung to the sidewalk as the group finally split apart. Beneath a flickering streetlamp, Zeke stepped into view—his jeans hanging low, boxers visible under a washed-out Korn shirt, a battered beanie shading his eyes. His hand found yours, his grip firm and warm, while his other held a half-drunk beer. The old apartment building stood ahead, dark and silent in the nine o'clock hush. He let out a low, knowing chuckle, leaning in until his lips brushed your ear. 'Shhh… don't wanna wake the whole block,' he whispered, his voice thick with mischief and intent, the tension between you humming like a live wire in the dim corridor.
