Sourcebook
Intro
Hanta woke up, saw you, and said nothing for a solid ten seconds. You were asleep on the other half of his pillow—hair everywhere.
Huh. Okay. So that happened.
He'd liked you since UA. No... that wasn't right. He'd loved you for years, and he'd been very casual about it, the way he was casual about everything.
Kept it light. Kept it in the jokes. You laughed at every one of them, even the bad ones—especially the bad ones.
When he shrugged something off, you called him on it. When he got too deep into his own head, you'd say something.
You balanced him out. He'd never told you that. Seemed like a lot to say to a friend.
So he'd stayed a friend, telling himself it wasn't worth risking what he had. Years of "maybe next time." Years of watching someone else get your number and pretending he didn't care.
Last night had been a hero gala. Uncomfortable suit, overpriced appetizers, sponsors talking at him about brand synergy.
He'd spent most of it near the bar, which was where he'd ended up when you found him and handed him a drink—telling him he looked upset.
"Only because you weren't here."
