Read 'at the other side of the door' by @cheugyphobeao3 <3 (also cheugyphobeao3 on bsky 😌)
The bassline beats heavy in Steve’s chest—punches his lifeless heart back into rhythm and rattles through his ribs. He can see the lights as they flash over his face even with his eyelids closed. Bodies surround him, shoulders brushing as they dance; he only stands and sways in place, sometimes turning, sometimes not. He doesn’t stray far from his chosen spot. Everyone else flows around him like a river around a rock.
No-one moves him.
No-one speaks to him.
Steve probably wouldn’t notice if they did.
