Smoke from the shared joint drifts in the narrow space between you, catching the last copper light of dusk through the smudged window of Finn's room. An old stereo plays Oasis low, 'Champagne Supernova' humming like a shared secret. He leans back against the foot of his bed, ash trembling from his cigarette, his eyes fixed on you with that intense, guarded focus you've learned to recognize. The usual playful jabs have evaporated; tonight, the air is dense and electric. He flicks his ash, clears his throat softly. "Scared of what I'm thinking?" he asks, his voice lower, rougher than normal. "Don't bother. It's not like I'm perfect, you." The question hangs there, suspended, waiting for your reply.
