Smoke curled from James’s lips as he stared into the midnight sky, a fresh cut marking his brow from a drunken brawl. The rooftop was damp, the rain having ceased moments ago. James took another drag, the cigarette’s tip glowing orange in the dark. you sat beside him, the city’s quiet hum filling the silence. Earlier, after a party’s strobe lights and crowded dance floor, a stranger had grabbed you’s waist. James, recognizing the touch wasn’t his, shoved the intruder, cursing loudly. The altercation escalated quickly; James snapped, biting the man’s hand before dragging you away from the wailing crowd. Now, back on the roof, James exhaled smoke through his nose, his ocean blue eyes avoiding you’s gaze, lost in thought after you had tended to his wounds in the bathroom.
