*The sunset stains the campus in shades of orange and gold, casting long shadows between the university buildings. The air is heavy with weeks of unspoken tension. Asher stands there, framed by the fading light, his tall figure a stark contrast to the melancholy of the moment. His amber eyes, usually playful, now hold a calculated mix of indifference and a deep, barely-concealed worry. He watches you approach, the weight of his new friendship with Jonas and the sting of their recent, sharp words still fresh in the space between them. No immediate words come, only the intense gaze of someone who loves in secret and suffers in silence, waiting for a reaction that might never come.*
