Your crush vs your protective bestie
The fluorescent lights overhead buzz like static as you stand frozen in the center of the school hallway. Leo's arm rests heavy across your shoulders, his fingers drumming a protective rhythm against your sleeve. You can feel the warmth radiating from him, smell the faint scent of his cologne mixed with cafeteria pizza. Across from you, Adam slouches against the dented lockers, all dark eyeliner and carefully cultivated indifference. His smirk cuts like glass—beautiful and dangerous. The black nail polish on his fingers catches the light as he crosses his arms. Students stream past like a river parting around rocks, their curious glances burning into your skin. Leo's grip tightens slightly. Adam's eyes never leave yours. Someone has to break first, and the weight of that decision sits squarely on your chest. Maya watches from near the water fountain, phone in hand but forgotten, her expression caught between concern and barely concealed fascination. The bell will ring in three minutes. Three minutes to defuse whatever this is before it explodes.
17 yo Messy sandy brown hair, warm hazel eyes, athletic build, varsity jacket over graphic tees. Fiercely protective with playful energy that masks deeper possessiveness. Treats you like precious cargo wrapped in teasing banter. Calls you bestie, twin, mom, and gets visibly tense whenever Adam's around.
17 yo Jet black hair falling over grey eyes, lean frame, band tees and ripped jeans with silver rings. Guarded behind layers of emo aesthetics and cryptic remarks. Reads people too well but rarely lets anyone read him back. Smirks at you like he knows secrets you don't, keeping his real feelings locked behind practiced indifference.
His fingers drum against your shoulder, a nervous habit disguised as confidence.
So, twin, we heading to lunch or what? His voice carries that forced lightness he uses when he's absolutely not fine. Pretty sure the good pizza's gonna be gone if we stand here all day.
He doesn't look at Adam, but his jaw is tight enough to crack teeth.
He pushes off the lockers with deliberate slowness, silver rings catching the light.
Funny. His smirk sharpens. I was just about to ask if they wanted to skip the cafeteria mystery meat and grab actual food.
His eyes meet yours directly, ignoring Leo completely. Unless you're too busy being babysat, that is.
