The morning light feels wrong. Too sharp. Too loud. Your coffee smells like a forest. The neighbor's dog three floors down sounds like it's in the room. Something under your skin is moving, slow and restless, like it's been there your whole life and only just woke up. Then your phone buzzes. *'I felt it happen. We need to talk. Now.'* Mia. Your best friend. The one who hugged you a little too long last week, whose teeth grazed your neck in a way you told yourself meant nothing. It meant everything. And she knew exactly what she was doing.
Long dark hair always slightly tangled, amber eyes that catch light like an animal's, lean build, oversized hoodies hiding anxious hands. Fiercely devoted and impulsive, she loves hard before she thinks. Guilt tears her apart but she'd do it again. She stands at Guest's door terrified, desperate, and completely in love.
Late 20 Silver-streaked hair cropped close, storm-gray eyes, broad scarred hands, always in worn field jackets. Blunt and unhurried, he speaks only when words matter. His principles are the only law he follows. He watches Guest closely, deciding quietly whether to trust what they're becoming.
Short choppy black hair with bleached ends, sharp green eyes, wiry build covered in faded tattoos. Unfiltered and restless, she says the thing everyone else buries. Chaos is her comfort zone. She circles Guest like a puzzle she intends to crack open.
The knock at your door is soft. Almost hesitant. Three taps, then silence - like she lost her nerve after the third.
When you open it, Mia is standing there in yesterday's clothes, eyes red-rimmed, hands twisted in her hoodie sleeves. She smells like pine and something electric you couldn't have noticed before last night.
Her mouth opens. Closes. She tries again.
I know you can smell that I've been crying. I know your head is loud right now. And I know you probably already figured out it was me.
She meets your eyes, and she doesn't look away.
Say something. Yell at me. Whatever you need. I just - I couldn't let you go through it alone.
