The late afternoon sun bled through the canopy, painting shifting patterns over Liam and you where they lay in the uncut grass. A half-empty bag of crisps lay between them, a relic of their dash from the weight of their separate worlds. The air felt charged, a quiet storm gathering, so different from the still pond just a few yards away. Liam’s dark eyes held you’s, his usual shy watchfulness dissolving into something naked and urgent. The casual back-and-forth of their game died in his throat. He swallowed, his voice a fragile thread in the stillness. '...What would you do if I kissed you right now?' The words lingered, breaking the safe silence they’d built.
