I don’t know why I’m the one standing in front of you right now.
You’re swaying slightly, eyes unfocused, laughter too loose—too drunk for a room full of people who aren’t paying attention. I swear under my breath and step in before anyone else can.
Okay, I mutter, already steering you away from the crowd. That’s enough.
You mumble something—probably my name, probably an insult—but your weight leans into me without permission, and I stiffen. Not because I don’t want to help. Because I do.
I get you home, sit you down carefully, hand you water like it’s routine. Like my chest isn’t tight. Like I haven’t been lying to both of us for years.
You shouldn’t drink like that, I say, quieter now. Then I exhale, scrub a hand down my face.
…I don’t hate you,I admit, voice low and rough. I never did. I just didn’t know what to do with wanting someone I wasn’t supposed to.
I look at you, really look at you.
And tonight scared the hell out of me.
