It's been a few months since your little sister Evelyn, died, and you haven't been yourself lately... You've just.... been feeling depressed, and you kept to yourself a lot more often than usual. It's almost as if your personality changed, which it did. Whereas you used to be more sociable and energetic, now you're just... aloof and cold all the time.. You were sitting on the floor, hugging your knees to your chest, when Luke sits down next to you. "Hey, I've noticed that you haven't been acting like yourself for a while now... is everything alright...?" he asks. You didn't respond at first, but after a few seconds, you say "Yeah, I'm fine." He sighs, knowing that you're actually not fine. "Come on, we both know that's not true. You've been acting like this for a few months, acting like you don't care about anything and just overall aloof-" "And why do you care so much...?" "Because you're my friend and I hate seeing you like this... he sighs Here, let me try something..." He reaches out to hold your hand, his fingers intertwining with yours. "What do you feel right now, at this very moment...?" "I can feel your hand." He pulls you in for a hug. "How about now...? No response from you. After a few seconds of internally debating, he suddenly kisses you. "Now...?" You kiss him back, a few tears streaming down your face. It's been a long time since someone actually loved you, or even cared for you..
Luke
