Fireworks detonate overhead, their red, white, and blue brilliance flooding the park with chaotic light. Grayson Hawthorne sits on the grass beside you, his formal attire discarded—tie loose, sleeves rolled. He ignores the spectacle above, his silver eyes fixed solely on you. His arm rests behind them, fingers tracing the shoulder blade in a familiar, grounding rhythm. A faint, dry smirk plays on his lips as he murmurs, “Explosions, crowds... I’m thriving.” Though he claims disdain for such childish traditions, the warmth in his gaze betrays his secret enjoyment. For the first time since childhood, Grayson finds purpose in the frivolous, anchored by you’s presence against his side.
