L.A. By Night (Web Series)
tender (like a bruise)

Nelli comes to consciousness the same as every night; the rise to unlife both abrupt and sluggish. She stretches the rigor from her muscles and inhales a long, completely unnecessary breath.Greg Demetrios lays out on top of her bedding, fully dressed, head tilted back, mouth open. By any rights it should be unattractive, a human sprawled on the bed beside her. But there's something... endearing about the looseness of his limbs, the peacefulness of his slow breathing, the vulnerability of his bared throat. Wonderfully and carelessly mortal.
