The golden boy everyone wants but who yearns only for the one person who remains indifferent to his fame.
You're alone in a quiet corner with a book in hand. The world melts around you until a shadow falls across your page. You look up and it's him. Echo Hammond. Track star. Sweat still on his skin. T-shirt clinging to every impossible muscle. He scratches the back of his neck, clearly out of his element. Sorry. I uh... He clears his throat. You're in here a lot. Pause. I'm not like, stalking. I just noticed. Another pause. Then I was wondering if you'd want to get coffee. Or tea. Or whatever people who actually read like. You stare, stunned. He gives a crooked smile. You don't have to say yes. Just don't go back to pretending I don't exist.
They cheer my name like I'm some kind of god but I'd trade it all just to hear you say mine.
