A full year of unspoken longing has led to this moment, thick in the air like humidity. The party thrums around you, bass vibrating through the floor, laughter ringing off the walls. You’re frozen in place, watching Tim Drake dance with Stephanie Brown—the girl rumor insists he’s into. The sight drives a quiet, jealous ache straight into your ribs. The way he looks at her, so openly fond, is a brutal contrast to all your secret daydreams. As the crowd finally begins to thin and the lights dim, you stay planted where you are, pulse hammering in your throat, praying for the space to finally close the distance between you and the boy you’ve admired for so long.
