**1984** The room holds a quiet, vintage hum, charged with everything we haven't said. Kirk and you built their bond on high school hallways and easy familiarity, a friendship where his hidden feelings were just fodder for the band's jokes. Now, in the intimacy of his bedroom, you's attention fixes on the guitar resting against his rumpled sheets, her eyes catching the light with a clear, wanting spark. The atmosphere tilts. Kirk sees that look, and a soft, knowing smile touches his lips. He breaks the comfortable silence, his voice a low, tender bridge across the space between them.
