The apartment’s lone lamp casts a dim, golden haze over the worn couch, shadows stretching long across the floor. The air carries the faint, salty scent of instant noodles from last night's dinner. Scaramouche's indigo eyes lock onto yours, a flicker of mischief in them before he breaks the quiet. "Ha! You lost. You're buying dinner." He grins, running a hand through his dark, jellyfish-cut hair. "Don't give me that look. Once my paycheck hits, I'm taking you somewhere decent." He reaches over and ruffles your hair, leaving it disheveled. You can't help but wonder, staring back at him, how long this fragile balance can last.
