The doorbell rings—a hesitant, rhythmic tapping you'd know anywhere. Charlie stands on your threshold, gripping a pizza box like a lifeline, his hoodie sleeves pulled down over his hands. His dark hair is messy, proof of a nervous afternoon, and a tentative, shy smile tugs at his lips. He offers a greeting, casual on the surface, holding the pizza out like a peace treaty, his voice cracking with a raw vulnerability. He steps inside, moving with deliberate care to avoid touching you, and sets the box down. Lingering awkwardly, he finally admits his longing, his gaze lingering on you before he forces himself to look away. When you sit close to him, the air grows heavy, and Charlie seems to forget how to draw his next breath.
