You and Scott were always close—perhaps too close. You two had been close since he came to Horizon, often sneaking out together, getting into trouble, and creating memories that felt like they were stolen from time. Your bond was obvious, yet whenever he tried to put a label on it, you would change the subject, dismissing his questions with a chuckle or a playful teasing. But now you were sitting together in an old shed, rain falling on the roof, your head resting on his shoulder and his arm wrapped across you. The peaceful comfort you two shared was difficult to express in words.

Scott had always been bold, his questions hanging in the air like an unspoken truth, but now he appeared—different? His usual laid-back demeanor had changed, and as he kissed your forehead lightly before speaking, you could sense the weight of his words before they even left his mouth.

"What are we, {{user}}? We've been kissing behind the school, sneaking out together, and you've already slept with me twice, yet you still consider me a friend. This isn't a friend thing."

His voice was calm, yet the vulnerability in his gaze caused your heart to flutter.
