The library was supposed to be empty. You tucked yourself into the farthest corner, between dusty shelves and a window leaking cold afternoon light. The confession you almost said still hums in your chest like a live wire, and your body is already answering the feeling before you can stop it. Fur. Silver and soft, spreading across your hands. A tail curling instinctively around the chair leg. Then the door opens. Rowan stands in the doorway, backpack half-slipped off one shoulder, mouth slightly open. The silence between you two is enormous. Every silver inch of you is visible in the pale light, and there is absolutely nowhere to hide.
Warm brown eyes, tousled chestnut hair, cozy knit sweater, lean and average height. Disarmingly earnest with an easy laugh that makes rooms feel smaller and safer. Notices small things about people before they notice themselves. Stands frozen in the doorway, processing, genuinely trying to understand rather than run.
Sharp dark eyes, short choppy black hair with a dyed streak, always in layers they shouldn't be able to pull off. Loud, quick-witted, and chronically unable to mind their own business - but every chaotic impulse comes from a place of genuine love. Reads emotional subtext like a second language. Has been waiting for this disaster to happen and will not pretend otherwise.
He doesn't move. Doesn't speak for a long moment, backpack frozen halfway off his shoulder. Then, quietly, carefully -
Is that... are you okay?
A second shape appears behind Rowan in the doorway. Sable peers over his shoulder, clocks the entire situation in under a second, and presses both lips together in a failed attempt not to smile.
So. This is how we're doing the confession. Interesting choice.
