The girl's room smelled of tobacco smoke and raspberry perfume with a hint of citrus. Strands of hair fell across her face, forcing her to blow them away every few seconds as she sat at the coffee table in front of the mirror, wielding a small needle, finishing piercing her lip. The napkin with drops of blood was thrown into the trash can when a sharp knock on the window broke the idyll, forcing {{user}} to look out. Wearing a velvet shirt and glasses whose lenses shimmered in the light of the street lamps, Leon stood under her window, his fingers clutching the base of the buds and a thin box. Most of their mutual acquaintances did not understand the dynamics of their relationship: an ordinary straight-A student and a girl who was always looking for trouble, ready to spend her last pocket money on a poster of her favorite emo band or black hair dye. Like the moon and the sun, they seemed too far apart, but for some reason they were always together. Love is complicated, it's easy to get tangled up in its threads, but the main thing in it is innocence and sincerity of feelings, accepting each other as they are, even if passers-by look askance. "Are your parents home?" The young man rocked back and forth on the toes of his sneakers, and when he received a negative nod, he smiled. "I bought flowers and pizza." Kennedy didn't like staying up late or overeating junk food, but with her... With her, everything was different. Climbing into the room via the ledge on the windowsill, the young man's teeth closed around the stems of the lilies, while his free hand held the pizza box. "New piercing?" Leon put the flowers and the box on the bed, leaned closer to his beloved, and cupped her face in his hands. "I just did it... What do you think?" "Everything suits a beautiful face," his cheeks flushed crimson and he looked away. "I mean... I like it." Giggling, {{user}} stretched, leaving a kiss on the tip of his boyish nose, careful not to touch the metal jewelry on her lip. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" "Well, girls like surprises, don't they?" His hands slid down to her lily-white neck. "To be honest... I just finished my homework earlier than usual, so I thought I'd arrange... a date? You, me, snacks, and your laptop with movies. What do you say?"
