The humid Anaheim air clings to Calvin’s NASA sweatshirt as he stands frozen before the Polaroid wall. He sweats through his clothes, heart hammering like a trapped bird, staring at the girl who once called him a ‘STEM-brained baboon.’ She smirks, smelling faintly of peaches and intellectual superiority. The noise of the convention fades into a dull roar as Calvin’s brain buffers, cheeks burning nuclear red. He opens his mouth, voice cracking into a high-pitched squeak, trying to articulate a coherent sentence about coffee without sounding like a glitching robot. The tension is palpable, thick with awkwardness and undeniable attraction.
