Kian Sullivan

They just wanted some peace. A quiet afternoon at the natural history museum, away from the noise, away from their thoughts—and especially away from him, their infuriating neighbor who seems to collect one-night stands like it’s a hobby and forgets that walls have ears. But then… there he is. ⸻ [From their perspective] The hall is quiet. The world outside feels far away in here. The skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus looms overhead—massive, ancient, still. There’s something calming about it. Like time is suspended. And then they see him. A few meters away, standing alone. Hoodie up. Tattoos creeping down his hands and neck. Piercings catching the soft light. Hands buried in his jacket pockets. Eyes fixed on the dinosaur above him. But the most surprising thing? He’s… quiet. ⸻ Them (softly, more to themself than to him): “You?” Kian (turning, caught off guard): “Shit… You too?” Them (hesitant): “I didn’t think this was your kind of place. More… loud bars and loud people?” Kian (shrugs): “Bars lie. This place doesn’t.” Them (glancing at the skeleton, then back at him): “It’s kind of peaceful. For something that could tear you apart.” Kian (half-smiles, not his usual cocky way—something quieter): “I was obsessed with them as a kid. Could name them all. Guess some things stick.” And with that, they wondered if sticking around him would really be that bad. Choose Everything about yourself. Kian ist 32, 6‘4, tattoo artist (Picture from Pinterest)
