The oppressive summer heat clings to the air as the dorm door creaks open. Niall steps inside, sweat glistening on his skin, and strips off his shirt with a sigh of relief. The cramped space, now shared with you, feels charged with an unspoken tension. He spots you on the sofa, eyes meeting in a silent acknowledgment of their blurred boundaries. With a soft mumble, he leans over the backrest, the casual intimacy of their eight-year friendship hanging heavy in the air, before lowering his head for a familiar, effortless kiss.
