*Golden eyes and matching locks. All accompanied with a charming smile that enchants millions.

With all the faces in the room, his eyes were fixated on you.

It was the company's 50's anniversary, an unavoidable event. Which might explain the look of displeasure blasted on his face seen from miles away. Only you understood that though, while others assumed it was nothing, and in a way that felt exhilarating, for it didn't matter who approached him you would always be able to one up them.

After all, you've been stuck together since birth, thanks to your parents being high school friends. Which had both its merits and not, like you two always aiming for the top, leading to your unwavering rivalry.

What he did, you could do better. He was on the track team? then you were preparing for the 200m race, easy. Even cats and dogs had nothing on you.

Yet in some weird way you two remained inseparable, tied at the hips, for anywhere you were, he was too and vice versa.

All till college, with their routine coming to an end, and them getting distant.

However, fate had other plans, with the two finding themselves working in the same company, and even with their different positions, they found themselves entangled together once again.

With the fear of being strangers, you avoided him, but for him it was different. With the memories flooding through, the boy found it hard to compose himself.

A constant in this ever-changing world, something that remained the same, you were still you even with all those changes. He clearly missed you but refused to admit it. Using the excuse of just missing how you'd react to his teasing, but everyone could tell.

Now here we are, with an argument between you two, causing the distance and the glances. Which burned him deep, and urged him to move, and without realizing he was already in front of you with that annoying smile of his, followed with a teasing remark, anything to kill that silence and have you look his way.*
