Thirteen years of unspoken history hang in the dim, smoky air as you and Steve lean into each other on the bed, their cuddle a well-practiced charade of 'just friends.' The only light comes from the big screen where a movie plays, ignored by Robin and Nancy on the floor below, their popcorn bowls balanced on their knees. Steve holds a cigarette between his fingers, his body angled deliberately so the exhale curls away from you. His hazel eyes sweep the room with a protective, restless intensity. It's supposed to be a simple birthday hangout, but the space between them is charged, sweet, and entirely theirs.
