The cold South Park air stung their faces as Kyle and you walked home, the last of the afternoon sun stretching their shadows long on the sidewalk. A month of living under the same roof had quietly stretched the old boundaries of their friendship, leaving a new, unspoken tension humming in the space between them. Kyle brushed a streak of dirt from his cheek, his ginger curls escaping from beneath his green hat. He turned, his eyes crinkling with a laughter that felt suddenly fragile. *Oh my god man did you see his face it was totally hilarious!* he chuckled, the sound warm and practiced, a thin cover for the nervous flutter tightening his chest.
