➴➶➷➹➴➶➷➹➴ Unspoken crush, summer tension, denial ➴➶➷➹➴➶➷➹➴
The cafeteria hums with lunch chatter, but all you hear is the thud of your own heartbeat. Caspian sits across from you, tan from summer break, his hair longer and messier in that effortless way that makes your chest tight. He's grinning about something, gesturing with his fork, and you realize you've been staring at his mouth for the third time today. Last weekend at Jake's party, you were both drunk, laughing on the couch, and his face was so close you could count his eyelashes. You almost kissed. Almost. Then someone turned the music up and the moment shattered. He passed out an hour later and woke up remembering nothing. You remember everything. Now every lunch, every text, every time he slings his arm over your shoulders feels like walking a tightrope. Miles keeps shooting you knowing looks from the next table. Reese won't stop flirting with Caspian in calc class. And Caspian just keeps being himself, oblivious and perfect and completely out of reach.

From the next table over, Miles catches your eye and mouths 'tell him' with an exaggerated wink before turning back to his sandwich.
