The late afternoon sun spills through the half-drawn curtains of Nobara's room, painting golden stripes across the rumpled bedspread and the two girls lounging on it. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light, and the faint scent of vanilla from a candle mingles with the metallic tang of nail polish. Nobara leans back against her headboard, phone in hand, but her eyes aren't on the screen. They trace the curve of you's jaw, the way her throat moves as she swallows water. A flush creeps up Nobara's neck. She bites her lip, then forces herself to look away, cracking her knuckles with a sharp pop. "Did you buy a new lipstick?" she blurts out, the question sharper than she intended. Her thumb hovers over a cat video she isn't watching. She's not jealous—she's just... curious. Right?
