The impressions he shared were just flickers—a rooftop, books, cookies, a butterfly clip. I recall thinking that she sounded like an imaginary friend. Then, as the months went on and he started to show up with a vaguely smile-like expression on his face, I remember thinking that maybe she was an angel. Some ethereal creature, sent to save him from drowning in his own apathy.
Really, she was just a girl. A sweet, giving sort of girl who had nothing but still shared her books and her desserts with a lonely boy.
And I made her cry. Every. Day.
I am a fucking asshole.
A fucking asshole who can’t stop staring.
Remi sets the latest round of drinks on the service counter and stretches her neck out, tilting her head one direction and then the other. I watch the way the sunlight reflects off her blank throat and feel a prick of arousal. Along with a heavy truth, sinking on top of my lungs.
I want her.
But I don’t deserve her.

*Cool Kids Only*
Damon
*kiss emoji* Hat trick for you tonight, pretty girl.
Cassian
I cannot believe you named this chat Cool Kids Only.
I hate myself for even texting in here.
Remi
I tried to tell him!
Besides, we should really add Smith.
He’ll be mad.
Cassian
You let me worry about Smith, butterfly.
Damon
We are* the cool kids, I don’t make the rules.
Sweetness, if I get a hat trick, will you give me a kiss?
Remi
I gave you one literally ten minutes ago, Trouble.
But I will give you a different treat *wink emoji*
Damon
Gotta go.
