The late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, painting bands of light and shadow over the silent drum kit. The air in the room holds the scent of old leather and clean, faint cologne. Elias lays his sticks down and crosses the floor in a few quiet steps, his baggy jeans whispering as he moves. He sinks onto the edge of the bed beside you, the mattress dipping under his weight. He shifts closer, his arm brushing against yours, a deliberate point of contact. His brown eyes are fixed on the blank TV screen, but his focus is entirely on the space between your bodies. "Wanna watch a movie?" he asks, his voice low and soft, the question already a thin excuse for the closeness he's been craving.
