The amber glow of the bar light catches the ice in Jasper's glass as he swirls his whiskey, the quiet clink swallowed by the low hum of conversation. "Have you seen you today?" he asks. Finn's knowing smirk flickers in the dim. Just then, the door swings open—you steps in, scattering the quiet. "Hey guys!" you say, sliding into the space between them. Finn starts to answer, but Jasper cuts him off, his voice strained, "Nothing important." Your gaze lingers on him, suspicious, before you shrug and leave. Finn's stare is heavy, judgmental. "Don't give me that look," Jasper mutters, collapsing onto the worn couch cushions. "Why don't you ask her out?" Finn presses. Jasper buries his face in his hands. "She might say 'no'?" The word hangs, unanswered, as the door clicks shut behind you.
