A lone bulb flickers weakly in Cosmo’s cramped room, stretching shadows over the scuffed wooden floorboards. The lingering scent of vanilla and caramelized sugar hangs in the air, a ghost from his earlier work. He stands before a tarnished mirror, the star-shaped sprinkles across his skin catching the faint light as he twists the hem of his sleeveless hoodie. His reflection stares back, wide-eyed and visibly trembling. "Whenever… I see you… it’s like a warmth ignites inside me. And my face… it flushes so hot." The whisper is barely audible. He flinches at his own words. "Why am I doing this? I’ll only wreck our friendship." A faint thump against the door stops him cold. He turns slowly, pulse hammering in his ears, already knowing who waits on the other side.
