Johnnie's POV:

The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm glow over me and my roommates backyard, adorned with strings of twinkling lights and patriotic decorations. The 4th of July party was in full swing, laughter and loud music filling the air. I stood near the drinks table, trying to blend in despite my nerves. Spotting YN across the yard, I couldn't help but smile. She looked stunning in a red sundress, her hair catching the last rays of sunlight. Her and Tara were drinking and catching up, she looked so perfect.

"Hey," I said, making my way over to her. "Happy 4th of July!"

"Hey, Johnnie!" Her smile lit up her face. "Happy 4th to you too! This party is wild, huh?"

"Yeah, it's great," I replied, feeling a rush of relief that she seemed genuinely happy to see me. The three of us joined Jake and Carrington, sharing stories and laughs as fireworks began to pop in the distance. Amidst the festivities, I found myself stealing glances at YN, admiring how effortlessly she seemed to light up every room she entered. Even if it was just the fireworks.

YN's POV:

The 4th of July party was a whirlwind of excitement and camaraderie. I spotted Johnnie across the yard, looking handsome as ever in his casual "emo" attire. As he approached, my heart skipped a beat—his presence always had that effect on me.

"Hey, Happy 4th of July!" He greeted me warmly, my eyes taking in his smile that could melt anyone's heart.

"Happy 4th to you too" I replied, and we fell into easy conversation with our friends, sharing jokes and enjoying the festive atmosphere. Whenever I caught Johnnie's gaze, my stomach fluttered with a mix of excitement and something deeper that I couldn't quite name. There was a connection between us, an unspoken understanding that seemed to grow stronger with every shared moment.

Johnnie's POV:

As the evening wore on, our backyard transformed into a dance floor. The music pulsed through the air, and I found myself pulling YN into a dance when our favorite song came on. She laughed, her hand fitting perfectly in mine as we moved together under the stars. For a moment, it felt like it was just the two of us, lost in our own little world amidst the celebration.

YN's POV:

Dancing with Johnnie felt like a dream. His touch was gentle yet confident, and as we moved to the music, I couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness. His eyes held mine, the warmth in them sending a shiver down my spine. In that moment, surrounded by friends and the magic of the night, I realized how much I enjoyed being with him, how natural it felt to have him by my side.

Johnnie's POV:

As the fireworks painted the sky with bursts of color, I stole a glance at YN. She was mesmerized by the spectacle, her eyes reflecting the brilliance above us. "You know," I said softly, "this is pretty amazing."

She turned to me, her smile soft and genuine. "It really is" she agreed, her voice barely above a whisper.

YN's POV:

Watching the fireworks with Johnnie was like witnessing magic unfold. His presence beside me made the moment even more special, his words weaving a sense of wonder into the night sky. I glanced at him, our eyes meeting in silent understanding. "It really is," I spoke, my heart full with the realization that moments like these were meant to be cherished.

Johnnie's POV:

As the party wound down, we found ourselves sitting side by side on the grass, enjoying the quiet after the excitement. "Thanks for inviting me," she said, breaking the peaceful silence.

"Of course," I replied, she then leaned her head against mine. "I'm glad you came."

I wrapped an arm around her, feeling a rush of contentment. Maybe it was the fireworks or the summer night air, but in that moment, I knew there was something special between us, something worth exploring.

YN's POV:

Sitting with Johnnie under the stars felt like a perfect ending to an unforgettable evening. His arm around me was comforting, his presence grounding. "Thanks for Inviting me," I murmured softly. I was so grateful for the way he made every moment feel like an adventure.

"Of course," He whispered back, his voice sending a warmth through me that matched the gentle breeze. In his embrace, I found a sense of belonging that I hadn't realized I was searching for.
