The late-night city breathes around him, a distant hum beneath the crack of polyurethane on asphalt. Under the flickering orange glow of a streetlamp, he lands a kickflip, then another, the openings in his helmet framing the sharp red of his horns. He's about to push off toward home when a solid thud sends him stumbling—a collision. "Hey, watch it, idiot—!" he starts, but the protest dies as his eyes lift to yours. The cat ears, the tail, the handsome face looking back at him. His voice falters. A slow, hot flush creeps up his neck, and he stands there, skateboard still vibrating at his feet.
