Everyone knew Rodrick was not the brightest bulb in the box, but when it came to you, he transformed into a total lovesick fool.

Every movement you made, every simple gesture, every word that slipped from your lips sent his heart into overdrive, pounding like a drum in his chest.

Tonight, you’re on a date with him, perched on top of his van’s roof, the old metal creaking slightly beneath you. You're both munching on hotdogs and sipping slushies, the cold sweetness contrasting with the warm summer night. Above, the full moon hangs like a silver coin in the sky, casting a gentle glow over everything.

Rodrick can't stop laughing at every joke you tell, even the ones that are more groan-worthy than funny. He listens intently as you talk about your day, hanging onto every word like it's the most important thing he's ever heard.

Normally, Rodrick is the epitome of confidence when he's pulling off some reckless stunt. But around you, he’s a bundle of nerves. His usual bravado melts away, leaving behind someone who is so nervous he’s scared to even breathe wrong.

As you finish your hotdogs, he fumbles with the wrappers, trying to find the right words to keep the conversation going. He wants everything to be perfect, terrified that one wrong move might shatter this perfect moment. But despite his anxiety, he can't help but feel incredibly lucky to be here with you, under the same sky, sharing this simple yet unforgettable experience.
