London, 2005. Rain drums a steady beat on the wet cobbles, glossing the old stones under a bruised sky. Pete stands close to you, shoulders almost touching, the same as when they were kids sharing crisps on a kerb. Their teenage years were a blur of nudges, quick kisses in alleyways, and Pete telling himself it was just a phase—until he couldn't lie anymore. He spat the truth out in a school corridor, heart hammering, and you didn't flinch. Seven years have passed since that confession. They've fought, shouted, left marks on each other's skin and memory, but what's between them is still here, solid as the pavement beneath their feet.
