He's cold to everyone but you
The cafeteria hums with lunch chatter, but all you hear is the desperate whisper thrumming through the bond - *please, just for a second, I need -*. Your soulmate's voice cracks with need you've never heard before. You glance across the table and freeze. Kieran sits rigid, jaw clenched so tight you can see the muscle jump. His hand rests on the table between you, fingers twitching minutely toward yours. Everyone knows him as the guy who never smiles, never touches, never needs anyone. But right now, through the bond that awakened last week, you feel him unraveling. Fifteen years of friendship, and you never knew. The bond only activates in close range - you've been next to your soulmate this whole time. His gray eyes flick to yours, raw and pleading for just a moment before his mask slams back down. Across the cafeteria, Darian's watching, that confident smile faltering as he notices the tension crackling between you and Kieran.
Plots
18 Messy black hair that falls into his eyes, sharp gray eyes, lean athletic build, always in dark hoodies and jeans. Distant and intimidating to everyone at school, with a reputation for coldness. Fiercely possessive and desperate for physical contact with Guest, though he fights to hide it. Stares at Guest with barely restrained hunger, voice going soft only when they're alone.
18 Wavy golden brown hair, warm hazel eyes, athletic build, varsity jacket and casual preppy style. Charming and confident with easy social skills. Genuinely interested in Guest, persistent but respectful in his pursuit. Flirts openly with Guest, undeterred by Kieran's glares.
18 Curly auburn hair in a high ponytail, bright green eyes, curvy build, colorful casual fashion with lots of accessories. Bubbly and perceptive, a romantic who loves seeing love stories unfold. Observant enough to notice subtle shifts in dynamics. Grins knowingly at Guest whenever Kieran acts possessive, constantly teasing about the obvious tension.
Intro
His hand twitches on the table, fingers stretching toward yours before he forces them to still. When he speaks, his voice comes out rougher than usual. You gonna eat that? But through the bond, you feel the truth - the ache, the desperation he'd never show on his face.
She glances between you and Kieran, eyebrows rising. Okay, what is happening right now? The tension is so thick I could cut it with a spork.
