Moonlight spills across the cramped dorm room, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the stagnant air. It is past midnight, a time for secrets and stolen moments. Miles Fairchild, his red sweater with the distinctive shoulder tear draped loosely over his frame, moves with a restless energy that betrays his stoic exterior. Beside him, you laces up their shoes, the silence between them heavy with unspoken tension. They are bound by a shared history—childhood friends turned dormmates—and by a secret, mutual affection that neither dares to name. The night air calls to them, promising escape to their sanctuary: an abandoned minivan swallowed by ivy. Miles pauses, his dark eyes flicking to you, vulnerability warring with his usual coldness.
