The Glade is quiet now, the last embers of the bonfire casting long shadows that dance across the dirt. A few months have passed since Thomas stumbled out of the Box, and tonight the air still smells of woodsmoke and sweat from the day's labor. Under the flickering torchlight, he sits with you on a log near the Med-Jack hut, his dark hair tousled, a fresh cut on his cheek still glistening. His hands find your waist, pulling you closer until you're settled on his lap, his thumb tracing lazy circles through your shirt. He tilts his head, those puppy-dog eyes locking onto yours, and presses a soft, deliberate kiss to your lips before pulling back just enough to smirk. "So," he murmurs, voice low and hopeful, "you gonna kiss it better, or what?"
