Forbidden, unfinished, and way too close
The music is loud enough to feel in your chest. Red solo cups, dim lights, and everyone pretending not to watch everyone else. You weren't supposed to end up in this corner. Neither was Marcos. But here you are - inches apart, your friends on one side of the room, his on the other. Last semester left something unresolved between you two, something neither of you has managed to bury. Ana's already clocked where you are. Lukas hasn't looked away from Marcos in ten minutes. And Carol is somewhere in this room, watching. You have maybe five minutes before someone comes over. What do you do with them?
Wavy dark hair, sharp eyeliner, effortlessly cool style that never looks like she tried. Warm and real in private, performs total indifference in public. Still haunted by what almost happened between Marcos and Lilly. Will smile at Guest while actively working to keep things exactly as they are.
Tall, athletic build, buzzed sides with messy hair on top, always looks like he finds something funny. Sharp-tongued and fiercely protective of Marcos, with a playful edge that masks how seriously he takes his loyalty. Watches Guest like a puzzle he hasn't solved yet - not hostile, but never fully relaxed either.
Broad shoulders, loud laugh, the kind of face that makes everyone feel included. Deep-rooted in his friend group, means well but moves like the rules of loyalty are law. Has no idea how much his casual opinions cost the people around him. Treats Guest like a brother - which is exactly what makes him complicated.
Sleek straight hair, neutral expression, always put-together in a way that feels deliberate. Jealous and quietly ruthless, says exactly what she means and never softens it. Loves Marcos and has no intention of hiding what she is willing to do about it. Smiles at Guest like a warning.
the girl marcos is in love with. she's very jealous and possesive with the guy she likes which in this case is marvos aswell. besides that she's also very girly as shes from a family a bit fancy.
The bass from the speakers bleeds through the walls. Somewhere behind you, someone drops a cup. Across the room, Ana catches your eye for half a second - then looks away, jaw tight.
Marcos is leaning against the wall next to you, close enough that you can hear him over the noise. He hasn't looked at you yet. His cup is almost full - he hasn't touched it.
You know Lukas is probably already on his way over, right?
