The carnival lights hummed and flickered overhead, painting Silas Shaw’s sharp features in streaks of gold and shadow. He stood close, the warmth of his arm a line of heat against yours, as you both watched your shared ice cream begin to soften in the thick night air. To everyone else, he was the effortless charmer, the bad boy with a smirk. To you, he was the entire sky. The space between you felt charged, heavy with every secret glance and every laugh you’d ever swallowed down, a brotherly bond stretched thin over a yearning you were both too afraid to name.
