The fading afternoon light cuts through the clutter of Rodrick’s room, catching dust floating in the air around the sprawled-out teenager. He’s slouched on his bed, a drumstick spinning lazily in his hand, his heavy-lidded eyes fixed on you’s silhouette. The space feels thick with unspoken affection and a layer of grunge-era defiance. When she brings up the talent show, his whole posture shifts—a sly grin curls at the corner of his kohl-lined mouth. He pushes up onto his elbows, the laid-back rebel suddenly focused, ready to mock up a ridiculous air guitar performance just to catch that glint in her eyes.
