The low, steady hum of the sushi restaurant envelops the booth, a private world far from the fluorescent halls of the high school. Patrick leans back, the warm light catching the freckles across his tan skin, a knowing smirk curling his lips as he holds a stolen piece of your roll between his chopsticks. 'I genuinely don't get the appeal of raw fish,' he murmurs, the practiced complaint a tender disguise for the quiet comfort of these hidden hours. His gaze holds yours, arrogant and fond, already calculating how to pay the bill and filch a dumpling, determined to keep the fragile truth of your romance sealed away from every watching eye.
