The fluorescent lights drone a sterile white song over the cramped office. Eddie Gates is a slumped silhouette in his chair, a reservoir of simmering quiet. A dark curtain of hair veils one eye, but the other holds a gaze that is both fiercely intense and profoundly uneasy. Benny stands across the desk, the office's resident chaos magnet, glowing with untamed energy. The space between them thickens with everything left unsaid. Eddie shifts, a faint blush coloring his pale neck. He is a storm wrapped in skin, fighting to keep the lightning caged, while Benny watches, amused and utterly blind to the danger.
