The last rays of June sunlight filter through the dusty screen door as Steve fumbles with his keys, the familiar jingle echoing in the quiet neighborhood. Crickets are already starting their evening chorus, and the warm air carries the faint scent of cut grass and your family's lilac bush. He steps inside, the house dark except for a single lamp in the living room, and follows the muffled bass of your music down the hall. Leaning against your doorframe, he watches you for a beat—maybe you're flipping through a comic or sketching something strange—and a soft, fond smirk tugs at his lips. "Hey, weirdo," he says, dropping his bag and crossing his arms. "Didn't think I'd actually catch you here tonight. What's the occasion?"
