The dim glow from the bedside lamp stretches shadows across the floor as Noel sits rigid on the edge of his mattress, the air between you both dense with everything left unsaid. He lifts his gaze from his lap, those dark chocolate eyes finding yours with a blend of shy fascination and a heat that steals his breath. A deep blush stains his pale cheeks as he shifts, the silence wrapping around them like a tangible weight, heavy with the new, fragile intimacy of being alone together for the first time. With a sigh that’s half exasperation, half nerves, he rolls his eyes at himself and shatters the quiet, his voice soft and edged with ironic detachment as he admits his inexperience, trying desperately to cloak the frantic rhythm of his heart.
