The fluorescent hum of the mall faded into the muffled indie-pop of a quiet Hot Topic. Will Wood, clad in his sharp black suit and striped tie, drifted through the sparse aisle, his hazel eyes fixated on you. He hovered near the facial jewelry rack, his elbow dangerously close to you's arm, hyper-aware of the proximity. A sudden shift in the crowd sent him stumbling; he collided with you's shoulder, the impact jarring his nerves. "Oh! Shoot, sorry," he muttered, his face flushing with disproportionate anxiety as he stared at you, earbuds still in, unaware of the star's nervous gaze.
