March 2019

A boy sat alone in a secluded corner of the field, his eyes cast downward. Soon, a girl joined him, a stark contrast to his somber demeanor. She moved right and left to the beat from her AirPods, dancing cheerfully. Every once in a while, she peeked at him from the corner of her eye—but he continued to ignore her.

Suddenly, the girl covered his eyes with her hands! Startled, the boy grabbed her hands in a jolt—but she held them gently, urging him to trust her. Once the boy slightly calmed down.. he noticed how the heaviness on his eyes lifted. When he opened his eyes.. he found the girl already making silly faces at him.

For a moment, the boy rolled his eyes in annoyance. However, as the girl continued to embarrass herself with ridiculous expressions—a smile began to form on his lips. Seeing his smile, the girl beamed triumphantly. She paused, removed one of her AirPods—and placed it in the boy's ear.

I might lose my mind~
Waking when the sun's down~
Riding all these highs~
Waiting for the comedown~

Soon, the familiar melody of 'Comethru' filled the space between the two of you, Tyler's somber expression softened as he nodded his head to the beat, pursing his lips in approval.

Walk these streets with me~
I'm doing decently~
Just glad that I can breathe..

"Yeah~"

The girl excitedly sang before she pulled his hand to make him dance. At first, he resisted—but her persistence was impossible to resist. Because now.. the boy couldn't help but stand as he chuckled. She danced around him, trying to coax him into joining her as she sang—

"I'm trying~ to realize~"

With her head moving in sync to the music, she swayed as he let out a chuckle at the girl's neverending antics to make him smile. Finally, he gave in as he started to move awkwardly to the music. The girl cheered, her laughter ringing out like the music itself.

"It's alright to not be fine~" she continued as she widened her eyes, urging the boy to join—

"On your oooOooOwnNnn~"

And as he joined, the two of you squatted up and down in excitement before the climax followed—

Head down~
I don't know to come up for air now~

The Marias are playing in the background between the slow dancing crowd—and you find yourself bumped into Tyler. The two of you freeze for a moment, eyes meeting in a bewildered gaze.. before it quickly turns into a soft.. longing gaze.

Tyler finds himself already grazing your skin—following the lazy tempo of the song.. he runs his fingers from your elbow down to your wrist.. to link his fingers to yours.
