The air between you and Neil thickens with easy laughter, a stark contrast to the quiet storm brewing beside you. Todd watches, his knuckles white around his notebook, jealousy warring with his shy nature. He knows your 'uh-huh' is a lie, a fragile shield against his own insecurity. The noise fades; all that remains is his trembling question, voiced in a whisper that betrays his burning cheeks. "you, do you still find me interesting?" he asks, his gaze dropping, vulnerable and raw.
