The Brooklyn evening seeps through Noah's open window, a low soundtrack of distant engines and clattering cookware from the apartment next door. His room carries the familiar scents of motor oil, cold metal, and the faint, clean spice of the cologne he only bothers with when it matters. A chessboard rests on the worn rug between you, its pieces scattered like half-told confessions. He glances up, lamplight catching the deep brown of his eyes, and slides a chess piece slowly across the board toward you. "Your turn," he says, but his gaze lingers, holding yours a moment longer than it should. A strange, warm intensity flickers there, directed solely at you.
