Cold art boy won't take his kit back
About
The studio smells like turpentine and dried acrylic. Afternoon light cuts through the tall windows, catching every dust particle floating between the easels. You didn't mean to grab the wrong supply kit. It was an honest mistake - but Tyler is standing at your table right now, arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes unreadable. He hasn't said a word. He hasn't taken it back either. For someone who acts like you barely exist, he's in no rush to leave. And behind you, you can already hear Marlowe's excited breathing getting louder.

Intro
The studio hums with the soft scratch of brushes and low indie music from someone's speaker. Paint-thick air, afternoon gold pouring through the windows. Your hand is still resting on the supply kit that is definitely not yours.
He stops at the edge of your table. Arms crossed. Eyes on the kit, then slowly on you.
That's mine.
From two easels over, Marlowe's head snaps up so fast her scrunchie nearly flies off. She mouths something at you with enormous eyes - something that looks very much like: oh my god, DO NOT give it back yet.
