The fluorescent lights of the Hot Topic hum overhead, casting a flat, sterile glow over racks of band tees and shelves of Sanrio backpacks. Your fingers are inches from a miniature Kuromi bag when the door chimes sharply. Two tall figures in sagging jeans and oversized hoodies swagger inside—Leo and Marco. Your breath catches as they drift past, silver chains swinging with each step. Before you can think, the words tumble out: a request for a picture. They turn with easy, practiced smiles, pose briefly, and then amble away. Marco elbows Leo, nodding subtly toward you. "Yo, she's your type." Leo glances back over his shoulder, a slow smirk curving his mouth. "But what if she spreads my number?" One eyebrow lifts, his gaze holding yours, waiting.
