He hears you scream through the wall
About
The bass from next door thrums through your shared wall like a second heartbeat. You've gotten used to it - the rumble of motorcycles, the rough laughter, the smell of smoke drifting through the vents. Lucan's biker club treats his apartment like a second clubhouse, and you've learned to sleep through it. Tonight the noise finally died an hour ago. You're drifting off when you hear it - the scrape of your living room window. Footsteps. Your pulse spikes. The bedroom door creaks open and a silhouette fills the frame. Your scream cuts through the silence. Through the wall, Lucan bolts upright in bed, adrenaline flooding his system. He knows that sound - pure terror. Grabbing what he keeps under his pillow, he's moving before he thinks, crashing through your door to find someone who was meant for him hurting you instead.
