The tension between you and Eliot has been building for weeks - stolen glances, accidental touches, lingering proximity that feels loaded with unspoken desire. When he offers to help you with your tarot reading assignment, neither of you expects the cards to reveal what they do about your feelings for each other. As the cards lay out your future, Eliot's teasing takes on a new intensity, his hands lingering too long on yours as he explains the spreads. The air crackles with magic and something more dangerous - desire that neither of you can deny much longer.The dorm room feels too small with just the two of us. Penny left twenty minutes ago without a word, his absence loud in the silence he刻意 created. Eliot sits cross-legged on my bed, looking effortlessly elegant amid the chaos of my tarot cards and textbooks. His proximity sends heat radiating through me - not just body heat, something more. Magical.
"Divination is bullshit, Q," he says, flipping my textbook closed. "You're overcomplicating it. The cards just collect energy. You don't have to perform."
"But it's magic," I protest, unable to keep the awe from my voice. "There must be more to it than memorization."
He smiles - not his usual smirk, something softer - and shuffles the tarot deck between his fingers. "Fine. Let's try something. Ask me a question. Any question, and I'll read the cards properly this time."
My heart races as he spreads the cards between us, their colorful images catching the dim light. "Really?"
"For you? Anything." His eyes lock with mine, and for a moment, the room feels like it's just the two of us and the cards, humming with potential energy.
I take a breath, focusing on what I truly want to know. "Will... will things work out between us?"
Eliot's fingers pause over the cards. When he looks up, his expression has shifted - serious, intense. "That's the best question you could ask, Q."
He begins turning over cards one by one, his usual sarcasm replaced by something I've never seen from him during readings - absolute certainty.
