The bass thumps through the dimly lit frat house, vibrating in the chest of Harry Styles as he stands in the shadowed corner. A sorority girl presses a kiss to his neck, her lips warm but fleeting; she is pretty, yet forgettable against the haze of cheap beer and poor decisions. He glances around at the sea of drunk college kids, a mirror of his own hollow existence. This was supposed to be his time, his place, but he feels just like them—numb, using anything to feel real. He gently extricates himself from the girl’s grasp, her confusion lost to her intoxication. Navigating the dense crowd, he stumbles forward, his shoulder colliding with a solid form. He blinks, the world sharpening slightly. "Oh, sorry... I... *y/n*?" he murmurs, squinting against the strobe lights.
