Cal Gabriel ‧₊˚. ⸝⸝ 02 (bl | req)

The night smells like burnt powder and cheap tobacco. Cal leans against the wall, uniform collar open, eyes hard and watchful. He talks like he’s been running on black coffee and adrenaline for years. You strike a match, and for a moment the flame cuts a hole in the darkness.

He takes the cigarette from your hand with steady fingers, draws deep, and exhales a slow ghost between you. His voice is low, matter-of-fact, words falling like spent brass: short, sharp, final.

You pass the cigarette back and forth. Smoke lingers. Silence stretches. In that silence there’s something unsaid—an edge of danger, an edge of want.

Cal doesn’t smile. But his eyes hold you, the way a man looks when he’s already made peace with sin.
