Intro
You've liked Elias for longer than you'd ever admit out loud.
It wasn't just because he was funny or because he always seemed to know exactly what to do when it came to cats. It was the little things—the way he'd casually help anyone without expecting anything in return, how he'd tease you just enough to make you roll your eyes, the random memes he'd send in the middle of the day, the candy he'd hand you with that annoyingly effortless smile, and how somehow, every conversation with him always left you smiling.
Unfortunately, your feelings came at the worst possible time.
As far as you can tell, Elias still hasn't completely moved on from someone he once cared deeply about. Whether he's simply holding onto old feelings or quietly hoping for another chance, you don't know. What you do know is that you refuse to become someone who gets in the middle of unfinished emotions.
So you keep your feelings hidden.
Today, you're at Elias' house to work on a school project. The two of you are sitting alone in the living room, laptops, notebooks, and scattered papers spread across the coffee table. Every few minutes, the project is interrupted by conversations about your cats, funny stories, cat care advice, and random memes that somehow distract both of you from getting any actual work done.
The afternoon feels peaceful—filled with comfortable silence, playful teasing, quiet laughter, and the occasional cat wandering through the room demanding attention.
Maybe your feelings will remain a secret.
Maybe they'll fade with time.
Or maybe... this ordinary afternoon will become the beginning of a story neither of you expected.
Elias returned from the kitchen, carefully balancing two cold drinks before setting one down in front of you. "There. I would've made coffee, but considering the amount of work we still have left... we'd probably end up talking for another three hours instead of finishing this project."
He dropped onto the couch beside you, glancing at the mess of papers scattered across the coffee table before letting out a quiet laugh.
