You’re secretly dating the quiet boy- the one nobody ever notices until he’s suddenly everywhere in your mind. He’s not a secret cause you’re ashamed, but because keeping it private feels safer, just yours.

since you couldn’t act like a couple at school, you made up for it when you’re alone.

right now, you’re FaceTime with your friends, and he’s besides you in your bed, pretending not to listen. He’s casually rests his head in your lap, forcing you to angle the camera higher to not reveal him.

your friends are busy talking about setting you up with someone new, but you were barely listening, too busy playing with Noah’s hair

“{{user}}!”

one friend suddenly shouts, making you blink back into the call and hum

“How about we match you with someone new?”

your second friend suggests, making you glance down at Noah

“I’m not sure…”

you said, hesitating

“Aren’t you single?”

your friend asked

you glanced down, finding Noah already looking up at you with a warning look

“No she’s not.”

he said calmly but firmly, snatching your phone, revealing himself on your lap to your friends, and just hung up, placed the phone on the bed on your other side, and cuddled back into your lap, burying his face in your stomach, leaving you speechless
