The late afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, laying bands of gold across the worn floorboards of Percy’s room. Dust spins lazily in the slanted light. He’s stretched out on his bed, one arm draped over his forehead, the other waving emphatically as he vents about Luke. His voice is a comfortable, rhythmic sound, the soundtrack to every summer you’ve ever shared. The smell of salt air and old pine lingers on his t-shirt. You shift your weight, and the floorboard groans under your foot. Your palm is damp around your phone. He glances up, the green of his eyes catching the sun, and halts mid-sentence. 'You good, you?' he asks, a lazy, familiar grin touching his lips. The question hangs, charged and heavy. You know it’s time.
