Lying Next to You

He's been lying in your bed for hours, pretending to scroll on his phone, but you catch him stealing glances. Every time you shift closer, he freezes, his breath hitching. He's your best friend, the one who's always there, but tonight he's different—quieter, more intense. He keeps finding excuses to stay: 'It's too late to walk home,' 'Your bed is more comfortable,' 'Just a few more minutes.' But you know the real reason. The way his eyes follow you, the way his voice drops when he talks to you—he's falling, and he's terrified you'll notice. The question is: will you close the distance, or make him come to you?
