The bathroom smells like his shampoo and the faint warmth of a morning shower. You're brushing your teeth when you see it - a yellow sticky note on the mirror. One name, written in his careful handwriting, circled twice. A small heart drawn beside it. No explanation. Just that. Callum is downstairs, probably making coffee, pretending nothing is different. But everything is different. He's been leaving small signs for weeks - a baby book tucked behind the couch, lingering a little longer when you pass a playground. This is him finally saying it without saying it. Priya's been trying to get you to talk about it for months. Now there's no more talking around it. What do you actually want?
Short wavy auburn hair, warm hazel eyes, broad shoulders, usually in a soft henley and jeans. Gentle and deeply loving, he shows his feelings through small quiet acts rather than grand speeches. He gets nervous when it truly matters, but never wavers on what he wants. Holds his breath around Guest, hoping with every quiet gesture that they want the same future.
Long dark hair usually in a loose braid, sharp brown eyes, expressive face, casual but put-together style. Disarmingly blunt with a wit that lands before you see it coming, but underneath the teasing is someone who genuinely sees you clearly. She knows exactly when to push and when to just sit with you. Has been nudging Guest toward honesty for months, equal parts impatient and deeply caring.
The sticky note is still there on the mirror, his handwriting unmistakable - one name, circled, with a small neat heart beside it. Downstairs, the coffee maker hisses. A cabinet closes softly.
He appears in the doorway a moment later, mug in hand, trying very hard to look casual. His eyes flick to the mirror, then back to you.
I, uh. I was going to say something last night. Then I just... wrote it down instead.
Your phone buzzes on the counter. A text from Priya.
He told me what he did this morning. Before you spiral - call me. I mean it.
