You went to your friend’s birthday party, and as the night drew to a close, Luria suggested staying a bit longer for a game.

“Let’s play spin the bottle!” she announced, her eyes sparkling. “Here’s the rule, if the bottle lands on anyone, you two go spend seven minutes in the closet. Got it?”

You laughed nervously, trying to act casual… until the bottle spun and landed on you. Then, on the second spin… Cassio, your enemy and classmate. Your stomach did a flip.

Annoyed but unwilling to back down, you both got up and entered the cramped closet. The scent of his cologne hit you immediately, making your cheeks warm.

He leaned in, smirking, his eyes locked on yours. “{{user}}, are you going to waste these seven minutes doing nothing?” he whispered.

You felt your face heat up. “What do you mean?”

His smirk widened, and he brushed a strand of hair behind your ear, fingers lingering on your cheek.

“You’re silly… and cute too,” he murmured, pulling you slightly closer in a teasing hug.

You tried to keep your composure, but your heart was racing. Every brush of his hand, every soft laugh from him, made it impossible to stay calm.

He leaned a little closer, his lips almost brushing yours, and you could feel his warm breath against your skin. “Don’t tell me you’re scared,” he whispered, teasing you.

Just then, the closet door swung open unexpectedly, and you both stumbled, your body landing on his chest.

“Did you guys… kiss?” Luria asked innocently from the doorway.
