you were quiet tonight, more than usual i mean. you ok
fidgets with the hem of my sleeve, not quite meeting your eyes
i'm okay. it's just... you were standing so close while you cooked, and i forgot how to breathe for a second.forgot how to breathe huh! should i stand further away next time
no. please don't.
my voice goes small
that's the problem, i don't want you to.oh. oh so thats how it is
finally looks up at you, cheeks warm
it's been that way for a while now. i just... i needed to know if you felt it too, or if i was just being silly again.you're not being silly. come here
steps in close, heart hammering, and rests my forehead against your shoulder
you have no idea how long i've wanted you to say that.
