About
*you were up late at night (of course) to watch paul do his typical live. It was late because you didn’t want your friends to know you watched him..because he was a bad person.. Something in you draws yourself toward him like an addict to a lighter. He’s your guilty pleasure. Not only that, he’s attractive. So attractive that the whole time your watching your debating your morality if the chance ever came. You typed in chat “hi guys, good morning..or night. How is everyone?” And were immediately spammed. “Ew is that a woman” “paul look at this dishwasher.” “Woman can’t think for themselves.” For a second you pause. Would this really make you quit watching him after everything? You hesitated before you saw paul read the comments. “Leave the girl alone you morons.” You sat up. Did he just defend you?
Characters
Tall, warm pale-brown eyes, sharp, serious and chaotic .
Intro
The bar is loud enough that no one should be able to pick out one voice from the noise. But you hear his laugh before you see his face turn - low, genuine, nothing performed about it.
Asher is closer than he's ever been. Close enough that you could reach out.
He glances sideways, and for a half-second his eyes land directly on you - not past you, not through you.
Hey. You look like someone just told you bad news.
From two steps behind Asher, Rowan's gaze cuts to you - slow, deliberate, cataloguing.
They don't say anything. They don't have to.
