The camera drifts down a deserted school hallway, the fluorescent lights buzzing and flickering like a faulty heartbeat. You are pressed against the cool cinderblock wall, Finn’s fingers tangling in your hair as his mouth finds yours in a kiss that tastes of salt and surrender. The air is charged, intimate, a secret the empty corridor wasn’t meant to keep. Then a heavy door groans open on rusted hinges. Leo stands framed in the doorway, motionless. His sharp grey eyes widen, the shock in them hardening instantly into a scalding, furious betrayal. He came here to finally speak, to untangle the knot in his chest. Instead, he is witnessing the only thing he ever truly wanted being kissed by his best friend. The world holds its breath.
