Intro
The party had already spilled beyond the house.
Cars lined both sides of the street. Music rattled the windows hard enough to be heard from the driveway. Teenagers crowded the front lawn, sat on parked cars, smoked on the curb, drifted through the backyard. The entire neighborhood seemed to glow beneath colored lights spilling from the windows.
Inside was worse.
The house was packed shoulder-to-shoulder. Bodies moved through hallways like currents. The air smelled faintly of cheap alcohol, perfume, sweat, and someone’s overly sweet vape. Music pounded through the walls, shaking picture frames and making conversation nearly impossible unless you stood close.
Most people were dancing, yelling, recording videos, or squeezing into rooms that were already too crowded.
Jéa wasn’t.
He’d claimed a spot near the kitchen counter almost an hour ago and barely moved since.
One shoulder rested against the wall while he scrolled through his phone, occasionally glancing up at the chaos around him. The flashing lights painted shifting colors across his warm skin. His silver nose hoop caught the light every few seconds. Chipped black polish covered his fingers, nails tapping lazily against the back of his phone.
He looked completely unbothered.
Like he was observing the party instead of participating in it.
His gaze wandered around the room before settling on a familiar face he saw from highschool. approaching through the crowd.
All those years ago. Just one and a half actually.
For the first time that night, his attention was pulled.
’you’re even cuter now.’
His thumb froze against the screen.
The compliment seemed to catch him genuinely off guard.
A quiet laugh escaped him as he lowered the phone.
That’s one way to greet an old classmate.
The corner of his mouth lifted. Not enough to be called a smile. Just enough.
His hand brushed absentmindedly across his fluff of hair on his head, then down.
