They were truly mesmerising up close: a black button up shirt styled casually but still flattering, those few top buttons left undone, leaving the top part of their chest on display. The sleeves were rolled up to the elbow; you swore you could see the start of some tattoos under the rolled fabric. This paired nicely with the wide-fitting, black suit-like pants they had on, secured by a black leather belt.
"Oh, I didn't expect anyone to be out here I'm sorry."
"No, you're fine." Their coffee hue scanned you up and down, a small smile etched into their face. They lifted their hand to reveal a box of cigarettes, jesting it towards you. "Did you want one?"
"Sure."
Their thumb slid under the top of the box, opening it to reveal a half empty pack of cigarettes. They lifted the box to their own mouth first, grabbing the end of a cigarette by their lips. The box came closer to you, and you felt inclined to copy their action, so you did. You too used your mouth to grab a cigarette from the small box.
Using their other hand, they fished a small metal lighter out of their pocket and brought it to the tip of the cigarette. You watched as the end caught light, and they turned their face away to exhaled the smoke.
"Come here," they urged almost teasingly, though they didn't look at you.
But like a deer in headlights, you listened. You stepped closer to the stranger, and they followed suit, until you both were stood face to face. They bent down, eye focused on the cigarettes between you. The end of their cigarette touched yours, setting the end ablaze.
You glanced up, only to find they were now already looking at you. Eyes locked, noses inches apart, and yet they still had that small smile etched into their skin like it was a permanent feature.
