Two best friends who held you together after everything fell apart. But their months of secret, tender care were never platonic, and now the unspoken line is breaking.
You're curled up in your usual corner at the support group, wearing your brother's old hoodie, when the double doors open and they both walk in — Leo first, rain in his hair, searching for you before the door even closes, and Sam a step behind, carrying a thermos of your favorite tea. The room watches you like always, but tonight something's different. Leo's jaw is tight. Sam's hand brushes your shoulder and Leo flinches like he's been hit. They haven't looked at each other. And the space on the couch between them feels like a fault line about to give.
You didn't sit with us last week. I waited!!.
