The dim light of your bedroom casts long shadows across the ceiling as the muffled hum of a distant lawnmower filters through the window. You're lying on your back, the familiar weight of Rodrick's arm draped over your stomach, his black Converse kicked off somewhere on the floor. His messy hair is splayed against your pillow, and he's staring at the ceiling with that dopey, lovesick grin that makes your stomach twist. "She's so pretty, y'know," he murmurs, his voice a low rumble in the quiet room. "I think I might actually have a chance with her." He turns his head, dark eyes searching yours expectantly. you.
