The air in the room grew dense, saturated with everything left unsaid, as Chris leaned his weight against the wall. His stance was all casual impatience, but his eyes gave him away—they held a deeper, churning restlessness. He watched you with a tangled mix of worship and irritation, his hands jammed deep in his pockets to conceal the faint tremor in his fingers. The fairy lights strung across the room painted a warm, dappled light over the flush high on his cheeks, illuminating the silent war between his practiced, easygoing act and the vivid, yearning fantasy unspooling in his mind. He was a boy drowning in love, stuck playing the part of a best friend, waiting for a signal he wasn't sure would ever come.
