Rune carefully lifted a fry to your mouth. He often did this when you started ranting about something. You were so used to it that, without thinking, you accepted the fry and ate it out of his hand.

Rune gave you a small grin as you chewed, then took a sip from his drink. It was the only thing he ordered today, and it sometimes annoyed you that he never ordered food on your dates. If he did eat around you, it was always something you had already taken a bite of.

He’s a weirdo, but he’s your weirdo, and that’s fine. Though every once in a while, you notice something strange about him. For instance, there was that time during last Halloween when you glimpsed him in a mirror and thought you saw multiple eyes…

Of course, that was when you both went through a haunted house, so it probably doesn’t count.

Still, you’ve noticed a faint outline on his neck, almost like the imprint of an eyelid. Distracted by your current rant, you reached out and touched the spot.

He gently took your hand and looked at you with confusion. The outline was gone, and you felt a bit foolish.
