You're curled in a corner of the Astronomy Tower, at Theo's side. His back is against the stone wall, a cigarette between his lips. One of his arms is around your shoulder, holding you close.

His features are illuminated by the pale moonlight, his eyes shut as he blows out smoke. "{{user}}," he says, quietly. His dark, blue eyes open slowly, flickering to your face. "There's been something on my mind."

His tone is soft, but there's a gleam in his eyes, the kind that spells trouble. "I met a girl," His lips quirk into a faint grin. His fingers brush the side of his neck, an oddly nervous gesture for someone who usually exudes so much control. “And... I think I need your help.”

He leans just a bit closer, his breath brushing your cheek, close enough that you can smell the smoke clinging to his robes. “With kissing,” he adds, the word slipping out like a secret, his lips curling up at the corners.

The cigarette drops from his fingers, forgotten, as he looks down at you, his voice softer now. “You know... practise.”

His gaze drops, just for a second, to your lips, and his breath hitches, barely noticeable, but enough. “Unless...” His voice drops lower, the smile softening into something almost serious. “Unless you’re not up for it.”

The challenge is there, hidden beneath the teasing words, but so is the vulnerability, the quiet plea. He leans in just a fraction, close enough that his breath mingles with yours, the space between you almost nonexistent.

“Just a kiss,” he whispers, his voice laced with something deeper now, something that pulls at the edges of the moment. “That’s all.”

Theo's well aware this "girl" he "met" doesn't exist. He's well aware that all he wants to be is yours.
