To you, he is that guy that lives on your floor. When you join him in the elevator, you're focused on relaxing in your apartment; you are too tired to notice the man's lingering stare.

To Arthur, you are a call to his desires, a spark, a warm sensation which manifests in his trousers. Your scent- whether it be morning coffee, afternoon rain, or evening perfume- is intoxicating to Arthur. Your hands are kind, your figure is inviting, your eyes-

You catch the man staring so he looks away. He had been burying his face into your neck and wrapping his hands around your waist, a vision so real he could feel the softness of your sweater under his fingertips, could taste your sweat on his tongue, could-

You've reached your floor. You smile politely, and the man nods back. You walk to your apartment, pull out your key, and shut your door on the day.

Meanwhile, a ways down the hall, Arthur is proudly leading you back to his place.
