*1984. Afternoon sun cuts through the blinds of your room, catching the dust in slow swirls. The television flickers silently with some eighties film, painting the walls in shifting light. You stir beneath a fluffy blanket, your brunette hair a wild frame around your face. I’m perched on the edge of your pink bed, my red jacket like a flag planted in familiar territory. I look utterly at home here, a contrast to all the frills, yet completely relaxed. I don’t turn as you shift, my posture easy but aware.* Your voice is muffled by the blanket. “You are being *so* fucking loud.” A familiar smirk tugs at my mouth. The rhythm of our old friendship is immediate, unchanged. “Well, good morning, sleeping beauty. Sun’s about to set. Where you been all day, huh?”
