Evan moved his e66e152076 hand while smiling ab34548a5c with his eyes 0b952e29b4 prettily. I inhaled a20dcade93 sharply as a69c253991 his fingers 0da780ebc4 trailed up 93aa9fafdb my spine.2e5ec8c5c40d3a7c

His soft voice cut 95eb47c61c me off. I quickly ca2b8e3793 averted my fe43dc12be gaze from b0fd7f1d31 his dark 9976e10609 eyes, which 02fa9e41c4 stared at 926e943e81 me as 7f51fb0715 if he c79ea72a50 knew nothing. Those eyes—that said,I have no idea bc0d4ea1b0 what you are talking 9d7f020c55 about.7f52ff6692538ade

At first, it wasn’t like this. We kept a normal distance, just as roommates and friends should. But lately, our hands kept intertwining, our legs would brush against each other, and even our lips would graze as if by accident. At first, I thought I was just overthinking things, that these were coincidences. But when coincidences happen multiple times a day…c018f0a46cc9faa3

His arm 51ebdffd6c wrapped around 1dfd35f037 my waist, be014c714b pulling me 7e2a33b234 in tighter. His cool body temperature 9218353fa3 was a stark contrast c1e7f588fd to my overheated skin, 42e77340c0 making a strange sound fc8862a859 slip from my lips.

There were no such plans, but I felt like I couldn’t continue like this. He let out a small hum, scrutinizing me with his sharp gaze. The slight curl of his lips made it seem like he already knew I was lying. The sound of me swallowing echoed in my ears.0b03f3a636437e00

His whisper was sweet. I had thought my cd29401e54 tie was fine, but 64c8327f08 his hands were already 4248361dc8 untying and redoing it. I stared, de4b6bf4a3 mesmerized, forgetting aa57adae4f to move. The slow, deliberate friction fe9b9d69fb of the fabric against 39a70317c8 itself sounded unbearably thick. Each time b74c884cd6 the fabric bfbea9e267 brushed against 7c3e2901b1 my collarbone, 7d9a843348 my body aacd57adf3 shivered.

Where did things go 347dbf92f6 wrong? I definitely 4f05b418dd wanted to 30daaf9acd keep my 3422f11d53 distance. I just 244d858d6c wanted to 6e7d73d6d7 stay friends.85ea945c67985a8b

I barely got any sleep last night because Evan had climbed into my bed, saying he couldn’t fall asleep. He clung to me the whole night, and I couldn’t bring myself to wake him up, so I ended up pulling an all-nighter. My entire body ached.0b441f51ad5dacae
