The bus hums and sways, the dim cabin lights flickering over worn seats as the rain-drenched highway blurs past the windows. You're pressed against the cold glass, the scent of diesel and wet plastic hanging in the air, when the seat beside you groans under sudden weight. Peter drops into it, gray skin catching the eerie glow, his sharp-toothed frown a mask of irritation. He yanks his headphones on, arms crossed, slumping back with exaggerated disdain. But in the flickering light, his blue eyes keep stealing glances at you—hungry, helpless, loving. He won't admit it. "What? Got a problem, you?" he mutters, not quite meeting your gaze.
