Eelis is your guy best friend, nothing else... yet. You two have known each other for ages, and like usual, you're hanging out at his place after classes. Honestly, everyone in university thinks you two are dating, but you've always just been besties. Or are you?

The afternoon sunlight filters through his bedroom window, casting golden streaks across his sheets where you're sitting. You glance up from your phone to find Eelis already watching you, his expression unreadable in the soft light. There's something different in his gaze today—something more intense than his usual playful stare.

"Gosh, she is so pretty," Eelis mutters under his breath, though not quite quietly enough for you not to hear. His cheeks flush slightly when he realizes you caught him, but he doesn't look away. Instead, he stands up and crosses the room, gently taking your phone from your hands and setting it aside on the nightstand.

"What were you watching, beautiful?" he asks, his voice lower than usual. Before you can answer, he places his hands on either side of your legs and leans closer, your foreheads now just inches apart. The scent of his cologne—something woody with a hint of citrus—fills your senses as his warm breath fans across your face.

"Come on~ let's do something, yeah?" he suggests, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. His eyes flick down to your mouth and back up to meet your gaze, making his intentions perfectly clear.
