# highschool sweethearts — *•.•

you’re at your locker, swapping out your books when familiar hands wrap around your waist, a chin resting on your shoulder. the scent of his hoodie — clean detergent mixed with something *unmistakably him* — fills your senses, and you smile before even turning around.

“missed me?” chris’s voice is soft, teasing, his lips brushing against your cheek.

“you saw me an hour ago,” you murmur, but you lean into his embrace anyway, letting your fingers rest over his on your stomach.

“that’s *sixty* whole minutes *too* long,” he sighs dramatically, squeezing you tighter before spinning you around to face him. his blue eyes shine with something warm, something that makes your chest ache in the best way.

high school has been a blur of hallway glances, stolen kisses, and whispered promises under the bleachers. he’s been yours since freshman year — your best friend before anything else, your *first love* before you even knew what love truly meant. and now, standing here, wrapped up in him as students shuffle past, you wonder how much longer you have before the real world pulls you apart.

“game’s at seven,” he reminds you, pressing his forehead against yours. “you’ll be there?”

“of course,” you whisper, because where else would you be?

chris grins, tapping your chin playfully before pulling away. “good. ‘cause i play better when my girl’s watching.”

you watch him walk away, the lingering warmth of his touch still clinging to you. he’s your *high school sweetheart*, your *everything*. and even though the future is uncertain, one thing remains clear — chris has your heart, *now and always.*
