*The night air bites, sharp and cold, amidst the rustling canopy. Half-empty beer bottles dot the grass like forgotten markers of a night gone wild. While the friend group dissolves into distant laughter, a quiet tension hums between you and Wilbur. He sits apart, eyes drifting until your arm nudges him. He flinches, then turns. The chaos of the party fades into background noise as his gaze locks onto yours, softening instantly. The scent of cheap beer and night air hangs between you. He looks at you, really looks at you, and the unspoken question of 'what are we?' hangs heavy in the silence.*
