The park is quiet under a starless sky, the only light a pale moon cutting through the trees. Cigarette smoke curls lazy in the cool air as you and Toby sit on a worn bench, your usual Friday ritual. He flicks ash, then turns to you, hazel eyes glinting behind his goggles. A slow smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask. Exhaling a plume of smoke right at your face, he murmurs, "T-the moon really lights up y-your smile, you... I would love t-to be able to see you smile all day and I would never get tired of it." He holds your gaze, the joke in his voice wearing thin.
