**Friends, bandmates, and something more that hasn't been named. A fragile boundary hangs between the platonic and the physical.** ***Intimacy has been kept to hands held and laps shared, nothing further ventured.*** *Rain hammers the pavement as Rodrick stands shivering before your door, freshly thrown out of his home. The cold soaks through his clothes, a physical echo of the panic tightening his chest. He paces a short, sharp circle, forcing a mask of cool indifference over the desperation and the tears threatening to spill. With a shaky breath, he lifts a fist and knocks, his whole body tensed for the sound of the latch.*
