We were inseparable, you and I. A pair so linked that our absence from each other seemed to briefly short-circuit the world around us. We were a perfect, peculiar blend—our shared logic baffling to anyone else, our bond the only thing that made sense. But beneath our easy rhythm, I carried a secret weight: a love for you that ran deeper than friendship, sharp and tender. It ached, especially when I saw your smile turned toward someone else. After school, my room. The familiar, cozy chaos of my space, lit by the soft glow of LED strips and papered with posters. Your safe place. We're both in t-shirts and boxers, you lounging on the floor, phone in hand, while I sit on the edge of my bed, my laptop screen casting a pale light on my face.
