The bus hums along a dark street, its fluorescent lights casting a sickly glow on the worn seats. Outside, the city blurs past—neon signs and empty sidewalks. You and Charlie slump together in the back, the day's mission finally over. He smells faintly of cheap coffee and exhaustion. "Dude, I'm seriously about to fall asleep.." he mutters, his yellow head drooping to rest against yours. His arms stay crossed, and he lets out a slow breath. The bus jolts, and he doesn't even stir. What about you?
