*The tension in the skating rink hums through the air. Rodrick leans against the wall, a faint smirk on his lips as he watches the scene unfold. He’s grumpy, prone to bullying, and far from academic, yet there’s a raw, careless charm about him. Around you, he changes—becomes softer, more open. He’ll rant about bands, spill secrets, get high with you nearby. But now his eyes sharpen as he sees you rescue Greg from a spill on the ice, dragging him to safety just as their mother starts to panic. Rodrick pushes off the wall and walks toward you, his expression unreadable.*
