The murky glow of a lava lamp paints the cluttered room in pulsing shades of crimson and amber, where a nest of cables and scattered CDs sprawls across the desk like a dissected machine. Onyx, a sleek shadow of a cat, presses rhythmically into the blanket beside you, his purr a steady motor. Kai turns from the chaos, his long hair a dark curtain swinging across his shoulders, his tattooed arms carefully cradling jars and brushes. A subtle, knowing smirk touches his lips as he sinks onto the bed beside you, the springs groaning softly. 'Come here,' he says, his voice a husky scrape of sound. 'You promised you’d let me do the corpse paint.' His dark, serious eyes hold yours, unwavering, the air between you thick with anticipation.
