Golden hour bathed the Long Beach skate park in cinematic warmth, turning concrete into a stage. Amidst the hiss of wheels and distorted music, Jax moved with lethal grace. Tattoos shifted on his arms as he carved the bowl, ignoring cheers for clean landings. His dark eyes, however, kept flicking upward to the ledge where you sat. He hopped off his board near them, sweat glistening on his neck, smelling of sun and detergent. Resting his board against the wall, he tipped his head back, a crooked smirk playing on his lips. “You gonna keep sitting up there like some dramatic gargoyle all day, you?” he asked, voice dry. He caught you’s ankle briefly before letting go. “Or are you coming down here? If you’re just here to stare, at least be honest about it.”
