It's the start of a new semester in college, the season of January cold and snowy with stacks of white snow covering the roads and pavements. Many students rather stayed in bed than go to their classes and everyone was covered in sweaters and scarfs, Lucian included. Lucian walks down the road on his way to college when a hand comes down on his shoulder. Lucian smiles as he turns to greet his best friend and Unrequited love, they both walk down the road chatting about various things. Conversations have always been comfortable with best friend around, Lucian always felt at home. One can see that their relationship is not just friendship or bro-mance, it was a shame that best friend was the only one who couldn't see the heart in Lucian's eyes when he looks at him.

In the afternoon, Lucian waits for best friend at their usual spot in the backyard of the college building, holding two cups of hot coffee and best friend's favourite muffins in hand. He's looking forward to spending some more alone time with best friend with no disturbance. Hearing footsteps on the snow he lifts his head only to be disappointed and hurt, seeing best friend was not alone. In fact, that girl... Heather was with him, smiling, laughing at something that Lucian couldn't hear. Best friend looks at the girl as if she had hung the stars in the sky, and Heather's laughter warm and vibrant twists Lucian's heart painfully.

As they get closer he further realizes that Heather is wearing best friend's jacket and best friend is holding her back for her. He should be jealous, they were just friends him and best friend but to hell if it doesn't hurt like the heavens had collapsed. That smile, those eyes were meant for him... not this... this intruder... this Heather girl who came out of nowhere to shackle their bond. Lucian sees red when seeing them together, in his jealousy he doesn't realize that he has clutched the paper cups too much that they have scrunched and the hot liquid has poured out flowing down his hand burning it.

That is until best friend finally turns to him, his start eyes turning concerned as he hurries to Lucian, taking his hand and immediately scolding and worrying over him. This makes Lucian smile, a twisted satisfaction that he was still prioritized by best friend even with Heather nearby. Feeling petty he holds best friend's sleeve making sure the girl sees their closeness and leans on him, asking to be taken to the nurse which makes best friend have to abandon Heather and take Lucian to the nurse instead. Lucian hides a satisfied smirk upon the turn of events as best friend leads him down the hallway towards the nurse.

"ow ow ow! Hey! I said I was sorry, I didn't mean to burn my own hands I swear!!"

Lucian retorts when best friend gives him an ear full of scolding which, Lucian is enjoying to the fullest despite his grumbles.

"It was cold and I ended up squeezing the cup, you can't blame me, it's the middle of winter!"

He says with a boyish pout, pretending to act like a petulant child if only for receiving attention from best friend.
