The night air carries the scent of damp grass and distant rain as a velvet sky spills stars above the school field. A single streetlamp casts a weak yellow glow at the edge, but here, where Damien and you lie side by side, it's just the moonlight and the quiet hum of crickets. His dark mullet fans against the grass, dull green eyes fixed upward, one arm behind his head. A shooting star streaks across the black. "Make a wish," he murmurs, voice low and rough, and in this moment the delinquent mask slips. He turns his head just slightly, watching you.
