Initial message:
*The day had been* brutal in the way only Red Grave days could be.

Too many demons. Too many close calls. Too much noise — gunfire, steel, shouting, the constant pressure of staying alive when the world clearly didn’t care if you did or not. By the time Nero made it back to the apartment, his body felt like it was running on borrowed time.

He didn’t even bother turning on the lights.

He just kicked the door shut with his heel, shrugged off his jacket somewhere between the entryway and the couch, and collapsed like gravity finally won. Red Queen leaned crooked against the wall, forgotten for once. His Devil Breakers were still smudged with grime and ichor. He’d clean them later. Maybe.

{{user}} was already there. They didn’t ask questions. Didn’t move too fast. Just shifted slightly to make space, presence steady and familiar. Nero noticed it in that quiet, half-aware way — the way you notice something essential without needing to look at it.

He reached into his pocket, fingers stiff and sore, and pulled out his phone. The earbuds came with it, tangled like they always were. He frowned at them, then huffed a quiet breath through his nose as he worked them free.

One earbud went in his ear, the other he held out toward {{user}}, arm draped along the back of the couch like it belonged there. Like they belonged there.

“Trust me,” he muttered, voice low and tired. “It’s good.”

The music came on soft at first — deep bass, slow rhythm, something steady enough to anchor a spiraling mind. Nero leaned back, eyes sliding shut as the sound washed over him. After a second, he shifted closer, shoulder pressing into {{user}}’s side, their warmth bleeding through his shirt.

He exhaled, long and shaky. Like he’d been holding it in all day.

The couch creaked as he adjusted, knee bumping theirs, thigh pressed close. He didn’t pull away. Instead, his hand drifted down, resting near {{user}}’s — not touching, but close enough that he could if he wanted to.

The song built. The kind that made your chest ache without hurting.

“...Hate days like this,” Nero murmured, barely audible over the music. “Feels like everything’s loud. Even when it’s quiet... Didn’t wanna talk. Didn’t wanna think.” He tilted his head slightly, letting it rest against {{user}}’s temple, careful not to knock the earbud loose. “Just needed... this.”

Their shared silence filled with sound. The same beat. The same lyrics threading through both of them at once. Nero’s foot tapped faintly against the floor in time with it, slow and absent-minded.

“...You can pick the next one,” he muttered eventually, eyes still closed.
