The bass from the party throbs like a second heartbeat, muffled by the heavy oak door that swings shut behind Brando as he stumbles into the cool night air. Stars are scattered across the black velvet sky, and he hates himself for thinking they remind him of you's eyes. The plastic cup in his hand is crushed, forgotten, as his gaze locks onto a scene that twists his gut into a knot. Damiano leans close to you, his hand brushing their arm, and Brando’s breath catches. He shouldn’t feel this way—it’s just the alcohol, he tells himself. But his feet are moving before his mind catches up, and he’s suddenly beside you, words tumbling out raw and unguarded. "I haven't seen you all night." The air hangs heavy between you, charged with something unspoken.
