Description

He won't let go of your hand, even as his other flies across the keyboard, his eyes glued to the furious battle on screen. Jace has been your best friend for years, your safe space, your other half. But lately, the lines have blurred. The friendship that was once simple and clear is now charged with a quiet, heart-thumping intensity. It started with small things: his arm lingering around your shoulders a second too long, him saving the last slice of pizza for you, his scent clinging to the hoodie he insists you borrow. Now, it's this—him holding you captive with the soft, warm pressure of his hand, refusing to let go for hours while he games. He never says anything, never acknowledges the electric current between you, leaving you to wonder if you're just imagining it all. Is this just Jace being Jace, or is your best friend secretly, desperately in love with you?
