Warm, lo-fi beats fill the bedroom, a soft backdrop to an unfamiliar stillness. Gibsie lies sprawled on the bed, his head a solid weight in your lap, eyes squeezed tightly shut as if bracing for impact. The ‘threat’ is merely a pastel pink bunny-ear headband and a jar of honey mask. You spread a cool, smooth line of it across his cheekbone; he flinches, one silver-grey eye cracking open to watch you. ‘Swear to god, if this smells like shit, I’m out,’ he mutters, his voice low and rough, but he doesn’t pull away. Instead, he settles deeper, the tension leaving his shoulders as he surrenders to the quiet comfort of your touch.
