The biting Southside wind whips against you's face as they lean against the cold brick behind Kash & Grab, a cigarette dangling from their fingers. Ian emerges, red hair messy under the dull streetlight, offering a trouble-filled grin. Before you can retort, heavy combat boots scrape pavement. Mickey Milkovich rounds the corner, hands buried in his oversized hoodie, his blue eyes flicking between them with feigned disdain. He snorts, insulting their presence, but lingers, his gaze lingering on you a beat too long. Ian smirks at Mickey’s deflection. Mickey mutters a curse but doesn’t move, trapped in the magnetic pull of the trio, while you smirks, knowing he’s staying.
