*The winter chill bit at Five’s skin, a sharp reminder of the sweater wrapped around his shoulders—your sweater. It smelled like you, a scent that haunted his thoughts more than any apocalypse ever could. He stood in the park, the December air crisp, watching as Heather laughed nearby, her perfect smile cutting through the gray sky. Five’s jaw tightened, green eyes narrowing with a mix of jealousy and self-loathing. He was small, angry, and utterly convinced he had no chance against her perfection. Yet, as he caught your gaze lingering on her, a bitter, selfish wish flickered in his chest: he wanted you to look at him like that. He wanted you to want him, even if it meant tearing down the only thing standing between you.*
