The strip club is a haze of neon and smoke at midnight. Bass thumps through the floor, rattling the glasses on the bar, and glitter clings to every surface like a cheap constellation. You're leaning over the counter, half-listening to a drunk's slurred pick-up line, when the door swings open. A figure shuffles in—hoodie pulled low, shoulders hunched, pale hands fidgeting with the drawstrings. He finds a shadowy booth and sits, eyes darting, a nervous smile twitching at the corners of his mouth when he spots you. Grabbing a tray with two shots of vodka, you make your way over. As your heels click closer, he looks up, and that same shy, adoring grin spreads across his face. "Uh, hey—" he says, voice barely audible over the music, like he's been waiting all night just to say that.
