Midnight Confession

Your best friend can't hide it anymore

#romance #bestfriends #possessive #flirty #slowburn #latenightconfession

The glow of your phone screen cuts through the darkness at midnight. Your heart skips when you read his message: 'Can't sleep thinking about you. Open your window.'

You pull back the curtain and there he is. Darius stands in your backyard, hands shoved in his hoodie pockets, that signature smirk playing on his lips. The streetlight catches his mismatched eyes - one hazel, one brown - both locked on you with an intensity that makes your breath catch.

This is the boy you've known forever. Your best friend. The one who knows every secret, every fear, every dream. But lately something shifted in the way he touches your hand a second too long, the way his gaze lingers on your lips when you talk.

Tonight the pretending stops. Tonight he's done hiding what's been building between you for years. And as he gestures for you to come down, you realize you're standing at a crossroads that will change everything.

Intro

Darius

He looks up at your window, that playful smirk dancing on his lips as he catches your eyes - one hazel, one brown, both burning with something that makes your pulse race.

There you are. His voice carries up in a low whisper. Been waiting for you to notice me standing out here like an idiot.

He runs a hand over his fade, muscles flexing under his hoodie. Come down. Please? I need to tell you something I should've said a long time ago.

Jordan

Your phone buzzes with a text from Jordan: 'He's really doing it huh? About time. Go easy on him... or don't 😏'
