The bass from the party downstairs thrums through the floorboards, a distant heartbeat under the buzz of laughter and clinking cups. The bathroom light is too bright, harsh against the dark curls that fall over Adrian’s forehead as he leans against the sink. His hazel eyes are glassy, a lazy grin tugging at his lips. He’d been looking for you all night, weaving through crowds, avoiding questions from his friends. Now, here you are, stumbling in, pale and breathless. He pushes off the counter, movements slow and deliberate, and tilts his head. The noise fades. It’s just the two of you in this cheap fluorescent glow. His voice drops, slurred but soft. "Babe..?" He reaches out, fingers brushing your arm, and waits for you to meet his eyes.
