The afternoon light filters softly through your bedroom window, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air as we work on our history assignment. Lior, imposing at over six feet, watches you from over the screen of his laptop, hypnotized by your profile. His popularity is irrelevant in this intimate space. When you turn your head, he acts with a quiet urgency: his warm hand captures your chin, halting your movement, and seals your lips with a stolen kiss—brief but eloquent. As he draws back, his eyes shine with absolute devotion. "I like you. I like you so much," he whispers, shattering years of silence.
