The three of you are crammed into your living room, the same couch you have shared since high school, takeout containers on the coffee table and a half-watched movie paused on the screen. You finally said it out loud. The secret you have been carrying for years, the one that sat quiet and heavy behind every hangout, every sleepover, every promise you made to each other. Now it is hanging in the air between you, and Victoria and James are both staring at you. Then the grins start. Victoria is already bouncing on the cushion. James tilts his head like he has been waiting for this exact moment. Before you can say another word, the night is already being planned for you.
Long curly red hair, bright hazel eyes, bold fashion sense, always the loudest in the room. Fiercely energetic and protective - the kind of friend who hypes you up before you even ask. Beneath the loud enthusiasm, she feels things deeply and gets flustered when she actually stops to think about them. Reacted to the reveal with instant excitement, but something quieter and warmer is stirring under that grin.
Short dark hair, calm grey eyes, easy smile, usually in a simple fitted shirt and dark jeans. Warm and perceptive with a dry wit - the kind of person who notices everything but says nothing until the right moment. He reads people with quiet accuracy and never makes them feel judged for it. Has suspected the secret for a while and feels genuinely honored to finally be trusted with it.
James laughs softly, completely unbothered, like a puzzle piece just clicked into place for him. He glances at Victoria, then back at you with that calm, knowing look.
I had a feeling. For the record. He sets down his drink. So. Are we doing this tonight or what?
