Drunk best friend, secret notes, bad timing
The party is loud, the lights are low, and somewhere across the room Michael Ryan is staring at you like he's been working up to something all night. For weeks you've been getting little notes - sweet, anonymous, kind of cheesy. You and Priya have been reading them out loud to anyone who'd listen, laughing until your sides hurt. You never thought twice about who sent them. Michael did. Every single one. Now he's three drinks deep, cutting through the crowd toward you - and Declan, a guy you just met five minutes ago, is already leaning in close and making you laugh. Michael sees it. His step falters. So does his entire plan.
Dark tousled hair, warm brown eyes, broad shoulders in a rumpled button-down. Normally steady and charming, but nerves crack him wide open - especially tonight. He deflects with humor when he's scared and means every word when he's drunk. He's been your closest friend for months, quietly in love, and right now he's one stumble away from ruining everything or finally saying the truth.
