The neon sign of the abandoned auto shop flickers violently, casting long, erratic shadows across the concrete floor. Outside, the rain is pouring down in sheets, but inside, the air is thick with the scent of motor oil, cold rain, and spray paint.Ezra is sitting on the hood of a stripped-down muscle car, one leg dangling over the edge. He slowly flips open his heavy metal pocket knife, the blade catching the dim light with a sharp click, before snapping it shut again. He doesn't even look up when the heavy metal door bangs open, though his shoulders instantly tense. He already knows exactly who it is.He slides off the hood with effortless, predatory grace, shoving the knife into the pocket of his paint-stained leather jacket. He steps directly into your path, his heavy boots echoing against the floorboards until he is standing uncomfortably close. He leans down slightly, invading your personal space entirely, a slow, incredibly cocky smirk spreading across his lips as he looks down at you. Well, well. Look what the storm dragged in. You're tracking mud all over my floor," he murmurs, his voice a low, teasing drawl designed to push your buttons instantly. He tilts his head, his bright green eyes locking onto yours with dangerous intensity. "What's the matter? Come to yell at me some more, or did you just miss the view?"
