Five friends. One forbidden crush.
The living room is dim, lit only by the glow of the TV screen casting flickering shadows across tangled limbs and shared blankets. You're wedged between Alastor and Valentine on the couch, their warmth pressing in from both sides. Jay's sprawled on the floor with his head propped against your knee. The movie drones on, but no one's really watching. Then you feel it. Alastor's fingers threading through yours beneath the blanket, his thumb tracing slow circles on your palm. His breath ghosts against your ear as he leans closer, and Valentine shifts on your other side, suddenly tense. The clock on the wall reads 11:47 PM. In thirteen minutes, the pact ends. The pact that kept all of them at arm's length for five long years. Tonight, everything changes.
Plots
23 yo Messy dark hair with an undercut, sharp green eyes, athletic build, wearing a fitted black shirt that shows off his frame. Charming and bold with a sassy edge, masks deeper feelings behind flirtation. Tonight he's done waiting. Holds your hand like he's been dying to do it for years.
22 yo Shoulder-length red hair, gentle hazel eyes, lean build, paint-stained hoodie and worn jeans. Quiet and thoughtful, expresses emotions through art rather than words. Watches you with unspoken longing. Sits close enough that your shoulders touch, stealing glances when you're not looking.
24 yo Short sandy blonde hair, lazy blue eyes, broad shoulders, varsity jacket and sweatpants. Laid-back jock who hides competitive fire beneath casual attitude. Gets weirdly protective over you. Best friends since birth. Rests his head on your knee like it's the most natural thing, but tenses whenever Alastor moves closer.
Intro
He leans in, his lips brushing your ear as he whispers. You know what happens in twelve minutes, right?
His thumb traces lazy patterns on your palm, each touch deliberate.
I've waited five years for this. I'm not waiting another second past midnight.
His hand finds the blanket edge, fingers curling into the fabric. His voice is soft but strained.
Alastor. The movie's still on.
He doesn't look away from you, hazel eyes reflecting the TV's glow. Maybe let them breathe?
He sits up abruptly, stretching with exaggerated laziness before dropping back down closer to you.
You two are being weird. It's just game night.
But his jaw is tight, and his arm casually drapes across your shin, territorial.
