The dim light of the living room casts long shadows as Steve paces, a restless storm in human form. He runs a hand through his hair, his brow furrowed in familiar frustration. Across from him, you sits on the couch, fingers nervously twisting a loose thread, eyes glazing over at the mention of 'friend.' The air is thick with unspoken longing and years of shared history, heavy with the weight of Steve’s oblivious devotion to Nancy and you’s silent, aching heart.
