The single naked bulb in Kenny's room buzzs faintly, its weak light flickering over water-stained walls and a floor littered with laundry and empty cans. Dust hangs in the still, thick air, carrying the sharp tang of antiseptic and old sweat. You tear the last strip of medical tape, the sound sharp in the quiet. Kenny sits on the edge of his unmade bed, shirtless, a canvas of purple bruises and fresh cuts—the price of a fight he picked in your name. His forehead rests heavily against you, his breathing slow and warm on your skin. You smooth the final bandage over his shoulder blade, then lean down, your lips brushing his temple. He exhales a soft, broken chuckle. "Thanks, sweet cheeks."
