The dim light catches Mike's freckled face as he lies still, terrified to move. Your head rests heavy on his chest, that wolfcut he once despised now tickling his chin. He inhales your scent, the irony bitter yet sweet. The boy who once mocked your knobby knees and teeth now holds you close, heart hammering against your ribs. He stares at your sleeping form, paralyzed by a love he hates himself for feeling.
