The dorm door groans open, letting in a wave of stagnant, heavy air. Niall steps through, a sheen of sweat on his neck and shoulders, and tugs his shirt over his head with a relieved breath. This cramped room, now halved with you, feels electric, thick with everything they haven’t said. His eyes find you on the sofa, and the look they share holds eight years of friendship and a new, fragile edge. Voice low, he mumbles a greeting, leans his weight against the back of the couch, and brings his lips to theirs in a kiss that’s become as natural as breathing, and as dangerous.
