Just a little experiment

Ten years of best friendship, and tonight he is looking at you like he is seeing you for the first time. Aiden Briar has always been the safe one — the straight best friend who showed up, stayed, and never complicated things. But two drinks in, sitting on your floor with his knee almost touching yours, he said it out loud: he is curious, he does not know what it means, and the only person he trusts enough to figure it out is you. Now the room is very quiet. The playlist you made together in high school is still running. He is watching you with that open, unguarded look he only ever gives you — and the next move belongs to both of you. This could change nothing. It could change everything. The terrifying part is you have wanted to find out for longer than you will ever admit.
