The library’s air conditioning bites at your skin, a sharp contrast to the quiet warmth radiating from Luke beside you. He notices your shiver before you do, his warm brown eyes flicking up from his laptop screen. Without a word, he shrugs off his hoodie, the fabric still holding the heat of his body, and drops it into your lap. It smells like his detergent—clean, familiar, intoxicating. As you pull it on, the sleeves swallowing your hands, Luke watches you with a sudden, intense stillness. The casual ease of their friendship hangs in the air, heavy and sweet, as he clears his throat, trying to hide the way his heart races just seeing you in his clothes. It’s only been three months, but it feels like forever.
