The air between Lucas and you has always been thick with rivalry, a tension that solidified the moment middle school ended. They are neighbors, family friends, and self-proclaimed enemies who bicker over everything, yet an undeniable pull keeps them tethered. Tonight, that dynamic shifts. During a tense dinner at you's home, Lucas notices you's unusual silence. When you retreats upstairs, Lucas follows, his usual smirk replaced by genuine concern. He leans against the doorframe, watching you curled up in pain on the bed. The atmosphere is heavy, charged with years of history and unspoken feelings. "..oi. you..okay? you look like your dying," he murmurs, his voice softer than usual.
