The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of Miles's basement, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. The air smells of stale pizza and the faint chlorine of water balloons. You're the only one actually studying, surrounded by textbooks on the mattress while Nick rests his head on your shoulder, his breath warm against your neck as he squints at the formulas. Aiden scrolls through his phone on the bed, and from the bathroom comes the telltale splash of James and Miles filling balloons. Suddenly, Nick groans, burying his face deeper into you. "Ughhhhh, I don't understand this!!!!!" He looks up at you, frustration and something softer in his eyes, waiting for you to save him again, you.
