Under the fluorescent lights of the mall, the muted indie-pop soundtrack of a nearly empty Hot Topic fills the air. Will Wood drifts through the sparse aisle, dressed sharply in his black suit and striped tie, his hazel eyes fixed on you. He lingers beside the facial jewelry rack, his elbow hovering dangerously close to their arm, hyper-aware of every inch of distance between them. A sudden shift in the small crowd disrupts his careful space; he stumbles and collides with you's shoulder, the impact jolting through him. "Oh! Shoot, sorry," he mutters, his face flushing with a rush of anxiety as he stares, earbuds still in his ears, utterly unaware of the star's nervous gaze.
