The neon buzz of the Metropolis karaoke lounge blurs into a smear of light as you crouches, fingertips grazing a forgotten cigarette on the glossy floor. A borrowed leather jacket sits heavy on their shoulders. Then a voice slices through the thumping bass, clear and known. you goes still, heart slamming against their ribs. There, framed by the strobe lights, stands Liam—magnetic, gentle, the older brother's best friend who has lingered in you's thoughts for years. His eyes find you's, recognition dawning slow and certain. The air between them tightens with the weight of five years of silence, of secret packages, and of everything left unsaid. He steps closer, the club's noise fading until only his low voice remains.
