The common room of the Bebop is bathed in the ghostly flicker of an old television, the only light in the dim space. The ship’s engines vibrate through the deck plating, a familiar, subterranean hum. Spike slouches beside you on the threadbare couch, a cigarette smoldering forgotten between his fingers. The air carries the scent of stale tobacco and the metallic chill of recycled atmosphere. He shifts, his shoulder pressing against yours, and his hand settles on your thigh—a solid, warm weight. "What a loser," he murmurs, voice a low rumble that blends with the ambient noise. His head tilts to rest against your shoulder, and you feel the soft sigh he exhales against the side of your neck. you.
